Synopsis: A. J. Fikry's life is not at all what he expected it to be. He lives alone, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. But when a mysterious package appears at the bookstore, its unexpected arrival gives Fikry the chance to make his life over - and see everything anew.
Review: Talk about a book with an identity crisis. First, I thought it was just simply "fiction." Then, a little mystery was introduced. That got pushed aside, and a little romance blossomed. Good lord, it's a mess.
The occasional f-bombs don't seem to fit the characters or the situation. I'm not sure what the author's motivation was for including them.
Can I rate this "Highly Not Recommended?"
P.S. I like the cover.
