“You know
the frustrating feeling of losing the page in your book? You didn’t want to go
too far forward and spoil the surprise, and you didn’t want to go too far back,
so you kind of stagnated and started from a page that didn’t seem quite right…that
was how I felt about my life.” (LOC 76)
Sarah always
kept her nose in a book (like me!), waiting for something to find her yet
worried she may never be found. Yes, it would be nice to have a man who
understood your love, or obsession, with books. But where do you find one? What’s
a girl to do to get off a rut? Start a book blog, where she would be free to
discuss books and connect with other book aficionados. It’s always easier to
live vicariously through a book.
Suddenly a
handsome stranger has the books falling out of Sarah’s hands. Then a story of
puppy love unravels.
You can’t
help but love Sarah’s love for books and the cute, little love story is
endearing. However, I got kind of sick of hearing all the talk about weddings
and babies among the circle of friends. Seriously, those women were just nosy
and neurotic. I also didn't adore the small-town life, which, let's face it, is usually filled with nosy busybodies.
I liked the
hopeless romantic concept, but wasn’t all too impressed with the writing, which
had expressions like “sticky-outy.” I guess it was sort of fitting as the main
character was shy and introverted in a cute, dorky way.
Sweet,
short, typical love story.
My rating: 3.5 stars
