did not like it

I admit — I did not finish this book. I wanted to like it. Who of us wouldn't want to read a book about libraries? Below are the reasons I didn't finish it:
1 - The writing was immature in my opinion. I felt like I was reading a children's or a very young adult book.
2 - The plot was too simplistic. It had no substance.
3 - I couldn't identify with even one of the characters. They were, to me, younger than their stage of life would seem.

I think this author had a good idea, but it did not come to fruition for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for the opportunity to read and provide an honest review of this book.
