The Bookish Life of Nina Hill (Paperback)

Staff Reviews
Utterly charming and laugh-out-loud funny! Nina is happy with her life - working at a bookstore, crushing it at trivia nights. Then she finds out about the family she never knew existed, and everything starts to change. A GREAT vacation read.

“What a joyous, charming, funny and beautiful celebration of books and the people who love them. There is so much detail in both the wonderful, wide-ranging cast of characters and in the setting. Quirky in the very best sense of the word. I will certainly return to the world of Nina Hill again and again.”

“Charming and funny and sentimental in the best possible way, The Bookish Life of Nina Hill is a delightful read! Nina Hill may live in the sprawling city of Los Angeles, but she’s managed to keep her life fairly small and curated. Between her job at the bookstore, weekly book club meetings, and her cutthroat trivia team, she stays busy and content. That is until she finds out her long-lost father has died and the perennially alone Nina discovers she has an entire family right there in LA. As she begins to meet her new family members—and through them the father she never knew—Nina’s world begins to expand in surprising ways.”
