[Review] The Echo of Old Books by Barbara Davis

A heartwarming, second-chance romance. The writing is top notch and the characters are deep and fully developed.

Those things aside, I didn't end up loving this book. Firstly, I wasn't a fan of the format. While I did like the present content, I found the epistolary-like story-within-a-story to be slow and distracting. It was an integral part of the book, but it just didn't jive for me. And second, the plot of the book felt stiflingly prosaic. It just didn't spark interest for me.

Great writing, but the whole thing just felt way too slow and pedestrian for my tastes.
