Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove Book 1) by Shannon Nikole – Review by katie stapleton

Finding Starlight by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thought this was a great first novel for Shannon Nikole – it was entertaining, romantic, nostalgic, and tense! Hard to believe she wrote it in such a short period of time! The author did a great job of developing the scenarios the characters were in to make them relatable and realistic. I was particularly impressed with the details – down to who chose what to eat at the restaurants. It gave the book a unique immersion feel.

I absolutely love the setting of a small town and bookstore. The relationships the characters develop with each other are sweet and swift. Ellewyn is a character you can’t help but like immediately and I like that each character remains true to themself throughout. It was suspenseful, tragic and hopeful all at once.

Make sure you read the trigger warnings, the details are specific and graphic, resonating especially with those who’ve dealt with similar situations. Looking forward to the next book in the series!!
