"Without question, Fawn Birchill knows that her used bookstore is the heart of West Philadelphia, a cornerstone of culture for a community that, for the past twenty years, has found the quirkiness absolutely charming. When an amicable young indie bookseller invades her block, Fawn is convinced that his cushy couches, impressive selection, coffee bar, and knowledgeable staff are a neighborhood blight. Misguided yet blindly resilient, Fawn readies for battle. But as she wages her war, Fawn is forced to reflect on a few unavoidable truths: the tribulations of online dating, a strained relationship with her family, and a devoted if not always law-abiding intern--not to mention what to do about a pen pal with whom she hasn't been entirely honest and the litany of repairs her aging store requires. Through emails, journal entries, combative online reviews, texts, and tweets, Fawn plans her next move. Now it's time for her to dig deep and use every trick at her disposal if she's to reclaim her beloved business--and her life."--back cover.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Draws you in. submitted by mmiller15 on July 4, 2022, 4:01pm At first, I did not like the main character. However, this book reveals a LOT, both about the story and life through the unique way it is written. It is written all through emails, tweets, journal entries, and the like. At first, the main character is insufferable, but you learn a lot about her via her journal entries scattered throughout the book. It keeps you hooked, as you want to know what happens to her and her bookstore at the end. Would read another story in this style by the author.
