The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin

OMG GET THiS GET THIS!! Check it OUT RIGHT NOW!!! or put it on hold!! Short...semi-sweet...a little tiny bit sad... but YUMMY. I love that writers usually throw in the subject of books in their literary pursuits. And for people who adore reading what better material than a bookstore...add to that the work of publishing and book reps etc. This is the story of A.J. Fikry who is a little jerky in the beginning, a little stuck in his ways but opens up quite quickly when he finds a baby in his store left for his caretaking. It's a little humorous shot through with book recommendations and love and overall a very quick delightful read. Maybe I didn't love the ending but not because it was a bad ending like the writer sucks at endings, just a personal opinion. Definitely recommend.
