This was really the perfect book for me to read right now! I think it can also be enjoyed by all ages: it reads a bit like younger YA with themes of first kisses rather than sex and drugs, but it also has more mature older YA themes of getting into college, becoming an adult, and moving away from friends and family. There are so few books I’ve found with late bloomers that I really appreciated this one. In her senior year of high school, she has never been kissed or had a boyfriend, instead talking about her romances with her many book boyfriends, which was honestly such a mood. Any book lover can find something to love in this book too: Darcy loves everyone, from Shakespeare and Jane Austin to Stephanie Garber and John Green.ĭarcy is also a more sheltered/a late bloomer like myself and I think many bookworms, which made her so relatable.
There were so many bookish quirks that had me smiling so much. I knew from the synopsis that Darcy loves reading, but reading this book, I realized that she really loves reading and it made me just love her and this book so much! In fact, her bookishness kind of reminded me of Cath from Fangirl, but mostly it just reminded me of myself.ĭarcy would fit right in as a book blogger or someone in the bookish community! She always carries around books in her purse (which her friend has to confiscate), she’s memorized entire picture books and can easily quote Shakespeare, she gives perfect book recommendations working in her bookstore, and she wants to pursue an English degree in college, maybe in work in publishing. Many thanks to the publisher, Inkyard Press, and Netgalley, for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.Īttention all bookworms! To anyone looking for a book about another bookish person, I have found the one. But securing her own happily-ever-after will mean she’ll need to stop hiding and start living her own truth-even if it’s messy. Still, after spending her whole life keeping people out, something about Asher makes Darcy want to open up.
Fairy tales are one thing, but real love makes her want to hide inside her carefully constructed ink-and-paper bomb shelter. For the first time in her life, Darcy can’t seem to find the right words. While Darcy is struggling to survive beneath the weight of her mother’s compulsive shopping, Asher Fleet, a former teen pilot with an unexpectedly shattered future, walks into the bookstore where she works…and straight into her heart. But when a new property manager becomes more active in the upkeep of their apartment complex, the only home Darcy has ever known outside of her books suddenly hangs in the balance. There, she can avoid the crushing reality of her mother’s hoarding and pretend her life is simply ordinary. Synopsis // From the moment she first learned to read, literary genius Darcy Wells has spent most of her time living in the worlds of her books.
