The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

I know I have an unpopular opinion once again, but hear me out. This book wasn't bad. I'm sure there are people who will enjoy it. I just wasn't one of them. The biggest problem of this book, in my opinion, was the main character. God, was she annoying. I get that she didn't have the best childhood, to put it nicely. But there's just no reason to treat people around her like that. She always ignored people who tried to help her or wanted to hang out with her. And I can't stand people who think that their taste in books is superior to others'. Nina is one of them.

“She looked up at him.
“Do you read books?”
He frowned. “Sure. Occasionally.”
“Good books?”
“Well, books I think are good.”
“Have you read Jane Austen?”
“No.”
“Kurt Vonnegut?”
“No.”
“Truman Capote?”
“No.”
His face was blank, but she could see he was getting vaguely irritated by this line of questioning.”

Come on... I would ignore a person if they told me something like that. I guess we should crown Tom for being so patient with her. And for carrying the entire book on his shoulders, it must be hard.
Also, the synopsis made me think that we will see Nina communicating with her family A LOT. Guess I was fooled, it's fine.

I received the digital arc from Edelweiss+ in exchange for an honest review.
