![]() ![]() It was a fun read with tons of lines that were so good I highlighted them on my Kindle: I’d call The Bookish Life of Nina Hill chick-lit or women’s fiction light with elements of romance. ![]() If you like alpha males, this really isn’t the romance for you as Tom is a sweet, nerdy beta male. Though there is a romance between Tom (the trivia guy) and Nina, it’s not the focus of the story, so if you want a “pure” romance, this isn’t the book for you. This book is written in a wryly funny voice and filled with literary references, nerdy random bits of information regarding books, TV, movies, and other aspects popular culture. Nina is forced to come out of her cocoon. Then, a cute member of another trivia team asks her out. Suddenly Nina is part of a large, multi-generational family. At this point, a lawyer appears, telling her she’s mentioned in her father’s will. An only child of a single mother (a globe-trotting photojournalist), Nina never knew her father. Her attempts at romance have failed in the past, and she’s not currently looking for a partner. ![]() She has good friends and is active in the “real” world with book clubs and her trivia team but prefers being on her own in a life she considers complete. To compensate, she tends to stick to a well-documented routine. Nina is an introvert who suffers from situational anxiety. I was intrigued by the book cover and the blurb about The Bookish Life of Nina Hill released by Berkley on J. ![]()
