“I just love reading about bookish characters in romance novels”
I enjoy reading any of Alexa Martin's romance books. They always have some romance trope elements that makes the read so much better.
Better than Fiction is more than a romance book. I will say that it leans more toward women's fiction than romance fiction. It’s about Drew learning to forgive herself as she struggles with her grief process as she navigates her grandmother's bookshop. Drew's love life is not the main focus; it’s more of a sideshow.
Drew may be the only one who doesn’t care for reading. It’s not her main focus since she is struggling to keep her grandmother’s bookshop on a float. And it doesn’t help that her estranged father keeps trying to get the bookshop from her. Her life is a bit hectic that she is forgetting to process her grief and her loss of her career passion. Running the bookshop was never in her plan, but it’s something she cannot leave. It’s part of her grandmother even though she passed away.
