I loved the idea of this book - a bookstore down on its luck trying to work its way out of debt. Like seriously, that is usually a winner for me! But Aaron was seriously SO annoying... His assumptions about people, addiction, and outlook on life are all so twisted. His character essentially ruined the book for me. That being said, the audio for this book was phenomenal. As much as I disliked Aaron, I couldn't stop listening (so that should say a lot).

---synopsis---
'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?
