The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry
by Gabrielle Zevin, 2014, Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill
This is a really nice story about a bookseller on the fictional Alice Island off the coast of Cape Cod. There is a little bit of romance, some mystery, and a lot of serendipity. The main character, A.J. Fikry, evolves from a mean, crotchety person to a lovable crotchety individual as he finds his purpose in life.
The author is a real lover of books, and it shows throughout the story. There are little book reviews written by the bookseller interspersed throughout the book.
I read this book much more quickly than I usually read, only to find that I was sad that I had finished it. That is definitely a sign of how much I enjoyed it.
