The romance in the book is full of witty banter.
In the story, Nina’s relationship with her new relatives comes across as quite interesting and worth reading. I mean I’d love to be friends with her because none of us would feel ashamed or anxious to cancel a plan just to stay at home and read. She’s one of the most relatable characters (and a cool one at that!) Nina’s humour, her love for books, bookstores, and bookish references will make you admire her. The Bookish Life of Nina Hill is hilarious and charming. If you ever make lists even after the task is finished, just because crossing things off makes you feel better – this book is for you.
“Cats, dogs, Honeycrisp apples and coffee.“ – Abbi Waxman, The Bookish Life of Nina Hill “It’s one of the only five perfect things in the world.” ” Reading isn’t the only thing in the world, Nina.”
Abbi Waxman manages to deal with serious issues in a lighthearted manner successfully. This book truly captures the essence of being an introvert while also touching on the themes of anxiety, loneliness, and absent parents. Talk to strangers!Īnd to make it worse, Tom – her arch nemesis turns out to be really witty, cute, and totally interested in her.Įven though all she wants to do right now is hide in her apartment, drink wine and read books, it’s time for Nina to come out of her comfortable cocoon and face her new family and Tom. The sudden demise of her father (who Nina never knew existed), and her name in his will means she has to meet her new-found family. She finds that she does not just have brothers and sisters but also many nieces and nephews and…well, you get the point. Nina’s surprise is the discovery of her family! A family Nina never knew existed. She plans everything in advance and absolutely hates surprises. If it all she doubts that there might be more to explore in life, she shrugs off the feeling and picks up a new book to read. She has a job at a bookstore, a cat named Phil, an awesome trivia team for the nights when she feels particularly adventurous, and a world-class planner. Nina Hill is a 29-year-old bookworm who loves being alone, thank you very much! As an only child of a single mother, Nina loves spending time with herself. ― Abbi Waxman, The Bookish Life of Nina Hill “It’s reading a book, loving every second of it, then turning to the front and discovering that the writer wrote fourteen zillion others.” “Do you know the best feeling in the world?” “Uh…” Nina shook her head, despite having some ideas.
