Wonderful book that has you feeling every emotion!
We Are Inevitable is a love letter to bookstores, readers, and authors. While this book is about saving a crumbling bookstore, it is about addiction and overcoming grief. I have always loved the authors writing and I can say the same for this book as well. It took me a little bit to get into the book because it was depressing from the start, but once I knew more about the characters I was hooked.
Aaron is the owner of his parent’s failing bookstore. He and his dad run the bookstore, which needs some serious updating and some actual customers. One morning Aaron finds a stack of unpaid credit card bills and realizes the only way to get out of going bankrupt is to sell the store. He goes to a town local to sell the store, but makes her promise not to tell his dad because it will break him.
While figuring out how to tell his dad the news, he runs into Chad who was his brother’s good friend. Chad wants to see the bookstore, but can’t make it in to the store because they don’t have a ramp for his wheelchair. This is really where the story begins. I don’t want to go into any more detail because I went into this knowing it was about saving a bookstore. I really loved the characters and definitely connected to them. I felt so much sadness and pain for both Aaron and his father Ira. I loved the characters who come to rescue the store and their bantering back and forth.
“Because the hard part of falling down is not the falling, or the getting back up. It’s seeing what happens to the people you fall on. You get bruised; they get flattened.”
We Are Inevitable is heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. I felt all the feels reading this beautiful book. I felt so many connections while reading this book and simply put I loved it all.
