read: The Bookish Life of Nina Hill


Odd book. Not a mystery but centered around the question of what will Nina inherit from her recently deceased father? Not a romance but with a strong potential romantic interest. And central to the story is one big problem: Nina is a severe introvert who is unable to function "in society" without experiencing panic attacks.

But she doesn't. Not at first, anyway. Reading it, I felt like there was all this build-up of her as a malfunctioning societal oddball, but she behaved perfectly normally. It was very inconsistent in that regard.

Enjoyable, though, and amusing. I could see some people giving it a perfect rating.
