One of the best bookstores I’ve ever been to! The displays and design and art in the shop were so impressive. The environment was so welcoming, especially as someone who is not super savvy on the genre. It was such a great time browsing the unique displays.

Cutest little book store. They have so many romance genres. I loved the discount section, they gift wrap the books and write a 1 sentence snippet so you buy the book based on that eg m/f assassin meets spy and they fall in love.

Super cute bookshop! I picked up 2 mystery date books and love them. I would never have picked out one of the books but it's so good! Highly recommend the mystery date books.
