The Bookstore Sisters: A Short Story

I got this on KindleUnlimited since I'm the first to take advantage of any opportunity to read about anything that is related to a bookstore. This story captured my heart. In this touching story, sisters Isabel and Sophie lose their way before finding it again. The source of their conflict is the family bookstore on Brinkley's Island in Maine. The characters were well-developed, and the charming small-town setting added to the appeal.

This was my first book by Ms. Hoffman, but not my last.

I loved it, it had a really good ending

This was a short story. The audiobook is only an hour long. It begins with the typical small town girl dreaming of leaving to live a big life. After a loss, she returns to her home town. She makes a mess and realizes she needs to stay and help her sister.

I love the way they bond over baking their moms recipes and working to save their dads struggling bookstore.

The ending is so sweet. I wanted more.

⭐️⭐️.75- Short story. Super quick read. I guess I’m in the minority for this one. It’s has TONS of raving reviews, but it just didn’t resonate with me the way it seems to have with others. I think the message behind it is nice and I was not bored while reading it…. But I can’t even remember most of what I read anymore. It’s not memorable for me. I am glad so many others loved it though!
