![]() I found Nina to be such a likeable and relatable character in many ways. Does romance bloom? How does Nina adjust to her new family? This is what the captivating story explores. She has to adjust to suddenly having so many people in her life, while also catching the eye of Tom on a rival quiz team called – are you ready for this team name… You’re a Quizzard, Harry. ![]() Who are now Nina’s large, complex family. Her life is thrown in disarray when she discovers that the father she didn’t know existed named her in his will and made her existence known to his large, complex family. She owns a cat called Phil and takes great pleasure out of competing her weekly quiz team. (Dream job right there.) She is more than happy with her own company, a very big fan of organising, planners, schedules and, of course, reading. Nina lives in Los Angeles and works in an independent book store, Knights. BUT – here’s the thing – a few months ago I would have said exactly that and still found myself falling for this charming read. ![]() ![]() I think I can see why I read mixed reviews if rom-coms aren’t your thing, then maybe this isn’t for you. I’d heard a few mixed reviews about The Bookish Life of Nina Hill over on Bookstagram and almost didn’t read it, but the gorgeous cover illustration and lure of finding out more about Nina’s (anyone’s, actually) bookish life drew me in. This book gave me one of my, ‘ I’m so glad I read this’ moments. Opening sentence: “Imagine you’re a bird.” ![]()
