The Lost Manuscript by Cathy Bonidan

I was gifted an advanced listening copy from the publisher through netgalley
.

This was a very sweet and cute novel that touched on some deeper messages I was not expecting. I found the characters to be easy to remember and follow, especially since there were so many. The interweaving webs of people, places, and times was not confusing; it was clear and easy to follow. I loved the style this was written in. The letter writing format of this novel added to the sweetness of the novel and the depth of the characters. I enjoyed how topics such as love, loss, and frienship were all covered in this book. The revelations and comments were not necissalry nuansed in any way, but it was nice to have in this light contemprary. This would be a great book to pick up in between big, heavy novels or while sitting on a beach, just enjoying life. This is a book about following threads and following one story that brought so many random people together. I enjoyed my time listening to this novel, and I recommend it to people who love books about books and who are looking for something light hearted in such troubling times.
