Admittedly, romantic comedy isn't one of my usual genres, but once in awhile, I need a fix. And The Bookish Life of Nina Hill had me chuckling aloud, so it was a win.
Nina works at a book store and lives alone in a small apartment with lots of bookshelves and a cat. Her life is turned upside down when she discovers her father has died and left her something in his will. Surprising because she has never known who her father is -- her mother didn't tell her. Nina had a father who has lived close by for all her life. And... she has relatives! Lots of them. And they want to meet her.
Introverted Nina has a hard time with her newfound family. Then, on top of all that, she has a man that is interested in her. He won't take no for an answer, and Nina really doesn't want him to. So Nina is navigating her new life with all its ups and downs, and she's funny.
The book is fluffy and quick and a great diversion that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. Waxman has done a great job bringing Nina to life, and as a reader, you can't help but root for her. Will everything turn out happily ever after? You will have to read The Bookish Life of Nina Hill to find out!

This sounds like a fun read. And you're right, sometimes a light, romance is just the genre needed.
