My dad lived abroad and eventually, I got into the routine of talking to him once a week, but we can say he wasn’t a part of everyday life. My mom worked and I spent most of my time with my grandparents, when I was not at school. Growing up, my life was similar to Nina’s.
This is where you get a glimpse of my childhood. It actually rekindled my love for bullet journaling, which I had already started doing more of before I picked up this book. This book was me at so many levels and I have to say, I loved every bit of it. So, Nina turns to the one thing that is most solid in her life – her bullet journal. For us introverts, meeting a couple people can be stressful, meeting like 15 new people of varying ages and the oddest connections can be even more stressful. But they never met and now he has passed away and she is meeting her father’s side of the family.
Let’s come back to the story – Nina grew up with a single mom and it turns out, she had a dad, who was also very rich, and lived in the same city as her throughout her life. Anyway, through Nina, I have lived and loved that life. I feel like one of the worst things about being highly educated is that I can’t go work at a bookstore for fun! I could start a store, but I will likely never get a job at a bookstore. Her life is fantastic and I am jealous at so many levels. She works at a bookstore and is a collector, or should I say connoisseur, of books? She has majestic bookshelves and dedicated reading times. She has a cat, bookish friends and trivia nights to win at. It’s going to take a brand-new family, a persistent suitor, and the combined effects of ice cream and trivia to make her turn her own fresh page.Ĭontent Notes: Growing up with a single mother, estranged dad. It’s time for Nina to come out of her comfortable shell, but she isn’t convinced real life could ever live up to fiction. Hide in a corner of her apartment and rock back and forth. (Too drastic, plus she likes her hair.)Ģ. Completely change her name and appearance. Doesn’t he realize what a terrible idea that is?ġ. It’s a disaster! And as if that wasn’t enough, Tom, her trivia nemesis, has turned out to be cute, funny, and deeply interested in getting to know her.
They all live close by! They’re all-or mostly all-excited to meet her! She’ll have to Speak. When the father Nina never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews, Nina is horrified. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading, she just shrugs and picks up a new book. The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil.
