Paige and Holly work in the local bookshop and they can’t believe their luck when they wrangle their way to one of the best literary festivals at Skegton-on-sea.
They think all their dreams have come true until reality bites and the ‘sunny’ holiday they had been thinking of ends up being a sodden, bad hair job. Still, it doesn’t matter because Holly is loved up and Paige … isn’t but that is about to change ... If that isn’t enough, an aged romance novelist bedecked in pink, complete with teeny dog and larger than life personality and their hero heartthrob rock star are both there signing books! Suddenly life is very exciting for the teenagers who are about to embark on an adventure.
Fun and games and slapstick comedy with the Bookshop Girls, this is a fab little book that one will consume easily and quickly at less than 200 pages. From the cartoony style cover to the contents inside you will feel as if you are at the book festival with them every step of the way.
This is for the younger person, granted, but I enjoyed it and the reader gets to know and love the characters, young and old alike. I kind of knew I’d like it when Paige mentions she likes charity shops – a girl after my own heart. And, again, souvenir shops were always a love of mine as a teenager and this is where she meets her local ’fittie’, Robbie. ‘We have stepped into a glistening palace of tat’. Brilliant!
They also learn some of life’s tougher lessons along the way but they’re besties, and therefore they can get through anything together.
If you like shopping, the seaside, and books, you will love this. Congrats to the author who also looks super cool with brilliant hair (!) and also designed the front cover. This is a book that will appeal to many as it’s fun from start to finish. And don’t forget to check out the last few pages of Paige’s ‘sketch book’ which contain funny illustrations and her check list for things to do. Love, love, love.
