4.0

 I bought this book based on the title, and knowing I tend to like books about people who love books, so I didn’t have high expectations. I just wanted a nice casual read. 

Bookshop by the Loch absolutely exceeded all my expectations. I really felt like a knew all the characters in Bracken Way and was really invested in their stories. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a book about multi-generational relationships, romance, finding oneself in adulthood, and familial stories.
