The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi WaxmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Delightful. Light. Frothy.
I could relate to Nina Hill's love of books, for I was like that before my brain injury. A book's best friend, that was me. The plot was enjoyable. The characters fun. But one thing I didn't buy was Nina Hill being a true introvert. Nina is supposed to be anxious around people, preferring solitude yet she has lots of friends and nights out. Huh? That's why I gave it four stars.
The setting was new to me. It was like travelling to a new city and getting to explore it through the eyes of people who live there. I enjoyed that.
As an older person, I found one aspect of this story a bit strange. Through talking with people who work with youth, I learnt that people really have become detached from normal human relating and neurotic as a result. Satisfying ending. Good read!
