Secrets of Paper and Ink by Lindsay Harrel

The Secrets of Paper and InkThis seemed like a catnip book for me: a woman trying to find a way out of the morass created by her past moves across an ocean to work in a bookstore. The book opens with her returning to work... and realizing she's still not ready to be there. So she answers and work in a bookstore where the owner has problems of her own.
This is a really well-written book and I liked the way the characters were developed. But-- there was a deep dive into Christianity that was NOT explained either in the synopsis of the book nor in the tags for genre. I don't mind reading books that do this but I appreciate a warning when you think that you're reading a book about women who are figuring out their own lives and then you're told that, no, actually, God has been steering them all along.

Three stars
This book comes out February 26th
