2.5/5 stars. I kept wishing I was reading one of the fictional stories within this book. The main character is a book nerd and excerpts from the books she is reading are added to Bookishly Ever After for her to dissect and get flirting notes from. The story of Aedan and Maeve was very enticing and I kept wishing that was the story I was reading! 
 Also I felt for a contemporary YA book Bookishly Ever After was just too long! I felt that at least 50 pages could have been cut out of this book and I would have enjoyed it more. I can't say I would recommend Bookishly Ever After but it wasn't the worst book. So I rated the story 2.5 out of 5 stars.
