With her Mum on jobseekers, choosing a future university for herself and sporting a hot guy in the street, her mind is full of things but at the top, saving Bennett's takes over. Working there with best friend Holly is amazing for them both and they set up an online petition to stop the closure going ahead.
After taking part in a life drawing class, the cute boy Paige likes turns up again at the bookshop, only as the closing down sale begins, the petition grows stronger as they use more social media outlets to spread the word through, so they then discover stock is going missing.
As friendship fall outs, dates, chance meetings and campaigning as well as reaching out to an author for help with the petition happen, Paige's life gets very busy as the final countdown to closer looks ever closer...
I liked the concept but found the storyline could've been better executed as there were often things that started but not played out, many characters could've had more input in the action but didn't seem as into the petition and campaigning to save their own jobs and the language was very feminist teenage angst and immature at times. Don't get me wrong, there's funny moments and darn weird happenings but it didn't completely work for me.
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
