First, here is a summary of what the book is about before I do my review, from Goodreads:
--
'I got this whole-body feeling... it was like a message from future me to present me, telling me that in some way we weren’t just bound to happen, that we had, in some sense, already happened. It felt... inevitable.'
So far, the inevitable hasn’t worked out so well for Aaron Stein.
While his friends have gone to college and moved on with their lives, Aaron’s been left behind in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, running a failing bookshop with his dad, Ira. What he needs is a lucky break, the good kind of inevitable.
And then he meets Hannah. Incredible Hannah – magical, musical, brave and clever. Could she be the answer? And could they – their relationship, their meeting – possibly be the inevitable Aaron’s been waiting for?
---
I thought this book was so much better than I expected. The romance was so cute and adorable, and I loved all the bookish elements, as a reader of this book. I think it can be a difficult topic to read about, for example, grief is in this book, but it's a book that really is worth your time. It also is not too long at all. It didn't take me long to finish reading, and so it's a book you can read within a few hours. I loved growing with the characters.
