abbi waxman the bookish life of nina hill

In this love letter to book nerds, Waxman introduces the extraordinary introvert Nina Hill…. I hope you're in the mood to be downright delighted, because that's the state you'll find yourself in after reading The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. It's a shame The Bookish Life of Nina Hill only lasts 350 pages, because I wanted to be friends with Nina for far longer. For anyone who’s ever wondered if their greatest romance might come between the pages of books they read, Waxman offers a heartwarming tribute to that possibility.

She is funny and imaginative, 'Bookish'… a step above run-of-the-mill romantic comedy fare.Ībbi Waxman offers up a quirky, eccentric romance that will charm any bookworm…. Meet our bookish millennial heroine-a modern-day Elizabeth Bennet, if you will.… Waxman’s wit and wry humor stand out. She has three daughters, three dogs, three cats, and one very patient husband. Wasman is a chocolate-loving, dog-loving woman who lives in Los Angeles and lies down as much as possible. She worked in advertising for many years, which is how she learned to write fiction.

Currently-lives in Los Angeles, CaliforniaĪbbi Waxman is a novelist whose books include The Garden of Small Beginnings (2017), Other People's Houses (2018), and The Bookish Life of Nina Hall (2019).

It's going to take a brand-new family, a persistent suitor, and the combined effects of ice cream and trivia to make her turn her own fresh page.

It's time for Nina to come out of her comfortable shell, but she isn't convinced real life could ever live up to fiction. Hide in a corner of her apartment and rock back and forth. (Too drastic, plus she likes her hair.)Ģ. Completely change her name and appearance.

Doesn't he realize what a terrible idea that is?ġ. It's a disaster! And as if that wasn't enough, Tom, her trivia nemesis, has turned out to be cute, funny, and deeply interested in getting to know her. They all live close by! They're all-or mostly all-excited to meet her! She'll have to Speak. When the father Nina never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews, Nina is horrified. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading, she just shrugs and picks up a new book. The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil. Meet Nina Hill: A young woman supremely confident in her own shell.
