There was the hint of a potential relationship between Esme and Luke, one of the other bookstore workers. The owner of the bookstore cared about the people who came into his store and those who worked for him. Luckily, Esme was able to create a new family at The Owl. Of course, it’s easier to say “He’s bad for you – dump him!” when you’re reading the story compared to living it. He kept crossing them and deserved to be dumped. Esme loved Mitchell and wanted things to work out, but there were lines she wouldn’t cross.
She wasn’t allowed to have a life outside of him and the coming baby totally messed up his vision of life together. Mitchell was a total prick who was only happy when Esme did what he wanted. She got herself into a difficult situation with very little support.
Esme has the baby without him, but with the support of the bookstore.įinal thoughts: I enjoyed this book even though it wasn’t what I expected. Then, he decides he hates life and doesn’t want to be with Esme. Eventually he decides to be noble and marry Esme, even though his family is one of the elites of NYC. He tries to convince her to terminate the pregnancy and get back together, but she refuses. Esme is pretty happy, although pining for Mitchell. The bookstore provide a wide cast of characters – from the owner to the other workers and homeless guys who help out to the regular customers. To earn a little extra cash, she starts working at a local bookstore called The Owl. She quickly gets involved with Martin, who dumps her just before she tells him she’s pregnant. Summary: Short version: Esme’s life doesn’t go quite as planned.įull version: Esme has moved to NYC from England to attend grad school at Columbia on scholarship. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book about books, so I decided to finally read it. This book was brought to my attention on a blog post that provided a list of books set in bookstores.
