Written by Abbi Waxman in 2019, The Bookish Life of Nina Hill is an adult romantic comedy that follows the slow blooming of Nina Hill, a single bookseller with anxiety who undergoes a personal transformation as she discovers family she never knew she had, acquires a boyfriend, and learns that some aspects of real life can be just as rewarding as fiction.
Nina Hill's bookish life is turned upside down in this charming, character-driven novel. The engaging plot and witty dialogue provide a delightful escape, though some may find the story predictable and slow-paced at times. Despite minor flaws, Waxman's heartwarming tale of personal growth and family connections is widely appreciated by readers.
A fan of smart, witty fiction featuring endearing protagonists will love The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman. Ideal for readers who enjoy the quirky charm of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine or the bookish delight of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, this novel delivers humor, heart, and a love for literature.
