The Printed letter Bookshop - Katherine Reay

The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay is the story of three women drawn together after the death of the owner of the bookshop.  Each woman is trying to find her place in the work with the bookshop at their center. 

Madeline’s aunt and name sake dies and leaves her The Printed Letter Bookshop right as her planned future seems to dissolve around her.  Janet, the divorcee, is left to figure out how to move on from the wreckage she created in her life and marriage.  Claire is feeling middle-aged and irrelevant.  They each manage to find their way with the support of their deceased friend and each other.

It was a sweet, light read.  The author also gave the patrons of the bookstore their unique identities and recommendations.

I do wish that the characters had developed a little more. 

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
