About this listen
‘I love everything about this book…For the first time ever, a book actually gave me goosebumps!’—5 Stars, NetGalley Reviewer
Today is the Mondayest Monday ever. Hallie Winstone has been fired – and it wasn’t even her fault!
Having lost her job and humiliated herself in front of a whole restaurant full of diners, this is absolutely, one hundred percent, the worst day of her life.
That is until she receives an email announcing that she is the lucky winner of the Once Upon a Page Bookshop!
Owning a bookshop has always been Hallie’s dream, and when she starts to find secret love letters on the first page of every book, she knows she's stumbled across something special.
But Hallie’s beloved bookshop is in financial trouble, and with sales dwindling, she can’t help but wonder if she is really cut out to run a business.
Things start to look up when she meets gorgeous, bookish Dimitri and between them, they post a few of the hidden messages online, reuniting people who thought they were lost forever.
But maybe it’s time for Hallie to find her own happy-ever-after, too?

Author tried too hard.
I had high expectations for this based on the name alone. It started off well and I was convinced I had found my new favourite cozy read with the bonus of lots of bookish talk. However, it became pretty clear about a quarter of the way through or maybe even before that, that this was not going to go the way I expected.
I loved the premise. I mean two bookworms working alongside eachother in a bookshop who fall in love, what's not there to love? But the author just exaggerated everything. Everything felt excessive, forced and after a while irritating— especially the humour.
The romance felt luke walm and extremely juvenile. I had to keep reminding myself I was reading about adults in their 30's and not teenagers. The protagonist was too clumsy and way too negative about herself that it exceeded the thin line of humorous and relatable to annoying and unbelievable.
It had it's good moments which were mainly the bookish talk but everything else just didn't work for me. It could have easily been 100 pages shorter.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
