Set over the course of one day, Aminah Mae Safi's This Is All Your Fault is a smart and voice-driven YA novel that follows three young women determined to save their indie bookstore. Rinn Olivera is finally going to tell her longtime crush AJ that she’s in love with him. Daniella Korres writes poetry for her own account, but nobody knows it’s her. Imogen Azar is just trying to make it through the day. When Rinn, Daniella, and Imogen clock into work at Wild Nights Bookstore on the first day of summer, they’re expecting the hours to drift by the way they always do. Instead, they have to deal with the news that the bookstore is closing. Before the day is out, there’ll be shaved heads, a diva author, and a very large shipment of Air Jordans to contend with. And it will take all three of them working together if they have any chance to save Wild Nights Bookstore.

dnf @ 60%. was expecting a queer story with some really great female friendship and am just NOT getting that.
- the decision one of the characters make to “save” the bookstore is... so ridiculous & unbelievable
- I found all of the characters so unlikeable. going off of me expecting some good female friendships in here, NONE of the characters even like each other so it's really hard for me to like them, feel connected, root for them, etc. also, all of the characters keep saying how the bookstore is their home & their coworkers are their family and like... where? when? y'all hate each other?
- so far there has been a very short scene where a character breaks up with her girlfriend and based on other reviews, that seems to be the only LGBT aspect of this when I was expecting a lot more
- super slow moving

just really not jiving with me, don't think this author is for me!
