The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry

This book is a hug.

I'm pretty sure this is loosely based on Silas Marner.

Just when you begin to think it's veering off into the maudlin, it surprises you and makes you smile.

It's a charming little story.

A. J. reminds me so much of my boyfriend. (Probably why he asked me to read it.) I can imagine him turning into this grump in a few decades time.
