 A.J. Fikry is the owner of a bookstore on Alice Island. When his wife passes away, he is left with managing the bookstore on his own. A.J. is a grumpy guy with a passion for books but he is also a lonely, depressed man who doesn't know how to make his bookstore what it once was. When a toddler is left on his doorstep, he makes a decision that will change his life. 
 This was a very heartwarming light read full of literary humor and bookish dialogue. I found myself smiling a lot as I read it. I enjoyed reading about (view spoiler)[A.J. and Amelia's budding romance, Maya's upbringing, and how the bookstore manages to bring the community of Alice Island together. (hide spoiler)] I also liked A.J.'s book recommendations and thoughts on books that preceded each chapter. 
 Probably the best part of this book is seeing how a love of books can really make a difference in someone's life and bring people together. 
 If you enjoy literary humor, feel-good stories, and are looking for a fun, light-hearted read, then this book is for you.
