I fully appreciate that I am not 16 but some of the language used seemed a little young for me, hence it not quite hitting 5 stars.Brief Summary of Book: Bookshop Girl (Bookshop Girl, #1) by Chloe Coles Overall I gave this a 3.5 stars, I did really enjoy this and will definitely be picking up the second novel, but felt it was a little young for me. That and I don’t think it added to the plot or character development, he could have been cut out and I would not have been bothered at all. One of my other gripes was the love interest, I felt like it was quite predictable and the twist at the end I saw coming from quite early in the novel. Maybe that’s just because I wasn’t like that as a teenager but, yeah, I felt like it needed to calm down and just be rather than trying to be overly teenager.
There were a lot of OMG and LOL’s which I kind of cringed at. There were points where I felt the novel was trying too hard to be young and cool. There was also a really strong feminist message too, did I think it entirely went with the book, no, but I appreciated it being there. She’s an artist, she’s thinking about uni and the wider world, something I could relate to. I really enjoyed the fact that Paige had other interests rather than just books too. A teen who has a cause and does something about it? Count me in and about bookshops which are one of my happy places. I was lucky enough to be granted an ARC copy of this via NetGalley and this is a book I’ve heard a lot about. That is until she is told her beloved bookshop is going to be closed down to make way for a bigger shopping complex, but Paige decides she’s going to fight to save the shop she loves so much. Sixteen-year-old Paige Turner loves her job working in her local bookshop, the only good thing about the small town she lives in.
