REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

A.J. Fikry owns a small bookstore in a time when it is no longer viable to own a small bookstore, and that’s the least of his worries. He’s a widower, and he’s just lost his most prized possession, only to have it replaced by another item of dubious provenance– but it’s something that will change his life forever.  A novel about books, book clubs, and book people, told with  humor, surprises, and love in its many forms, A.J. Fikry is an unusual and uplifting read.
