Great characters. Fun read. It was an interesting and intriguing mystery. I recommend for book lovers and book clubs. Review: Books about Bookstores are always worth a read - I preface this 4 star rating as actually being 3.5. The first 70% percent of the book was 3 stars, and I read slowly through the Kindle pages, but once the multitude of my questions began being answered, it moved into solid 4 star territory. With many "bookstore" books, the characters are quirky and the story is fun or unusual. This book was different. Miranda was living an ordinary life, not really digging in or getting the most out of her existence until her "uncle" died. I admit to getting frustrated with the literary scavenger hunt he sent her on, and the complete lack of communication with her mother. That bothered me to no end. I did not understand why Susan (Miranda's mother) refused to go to her brother's funeral, and especially why she refused to talk to her "daughter" about it. I wanted (needed) answers sooner than they were offered. This bothered me a lot. Especially when Miranda stopped talking to her mother because of it. Anyway, I kept slogging through the parts that needed to happen, not buying why so many characters were okay with being put on hold for long periods of time. Then the story took off, the puzzle pieces flying into place, and I couldn't put down the last 30% of the book. It was worth the read, and I'm not sure how such a convoluted tale could be told differently, but somehow I wish it had been. Being raised in L.A., I loved knowing all the stomping grounds, especially Silverlake. There is much to enjoy about the story, but you may have to push through the beginning, and even the middle, to get there. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #119,661 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,183 in Women's Domestic Life Fiction #5,287 in Literary Fiction (Books) #16,129 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (4,250) | | Dimensions | 6.04 x 0.99 x 8.94 inches | | Edition | First Time Trade | | ISBN-10 | 0778369080 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0778369080 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | May 7, 2019 | | Publisher | Park Row | ## Images ![The Bookshop of Yesterdays: A Library Journal Best Book of Summer Literary Fiction Mystery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DQwZGwCsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by K***R on October 11, 2025* Good Story. Great characters. Fun read. It was an interesting and intriguing mystery. I recommend for book lovers and book clubs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Books about Bookstores are always worth a read *by J***. on January 20, 2020* I preface this 4 star rating as actually being 3.5. The first 70% percent of the book was 3 stars, and I read slowly through the Kindle pages, but once the multitude of my questions began being answered, it moved into solid 4 star territory.

It is about family, friendship, secrets (lies), understanding, and forgiveness. The story is unique, captivating, well thought out, and organized. The literary scavenger hunt is just the best thing ever. Discovering the next book and clue was what kept me turning pages. The writing is very good. While the ending isn't perfect, it is satisfying and enough to make me want more. BUT..... The story is predictable. When the big reveal came around 2/3 of the way through there wasn't anything surprising about it. There were way too many clues leading up to it. The main characters are largely unlikable. 1. Miranda is spoiled and self absorbed. Her banter and thoughts about Jay are downright cringeworthy for a woman in her late 20s. 2. Pretty much everyone else of note is lying about something. The only completely (brutally at that) honest person Miranda encounters during her.quest is Sheila Crowley. Overall, this book was just okay. It didn't leave me breathless, but there were a few touching moments that caused me to pause. I think the story has enough open ends that it would make a great trilogy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/128955254-the-bookshop-of-yesterdays-a-library-journal-best-book-summer](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/128955254-the-bookshop-of-yesterdays-a-library-journal-best-book-summer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
