The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

The Storied Life of A.J. FikryThe Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was perfectly delightful - the details were clever and the writing also whimsical without ever losing hold of the story that was being told. I've enjoyed Zevin's young adult fiction, but this may actually be my favorite of her works so far. Her twists were unexpected and yet not jarring. I loved getting lost in Island Books and imagining A.J. and Maya's simple life. Subtle similarities to "Me Before You" without the same devastation - just similar quirky, honest, and loveable characters. Hope you love it too-

Happy reading--

ps. Probably a 4.5 stars but not quite the wonderment of a 5.
