The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

Fille unique d’une mère célibataire, Nina a sa vie telle qu’elle la veut : un emploi dans une librairie, une équipe de trivia qui botte les fesses, une planificatrice de classe mondiale et un chat nommé Phil. Si elle soupçonne parfois qu’il pourrait y avoir plus dans la vie que de lire, elle hausse simplement les épaules et prend un nouveau livre.
When the father Nina never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews, Nina is horrified. They all live close by! They’re all—or mostly all—excited to meet her! She’ll have to Speak. To. Strangers. 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. Doesn’t he realize what a terrible idea that is?
Nina considers her options.
1. Completely change her name and appearance. (Too drastic, plus she likes her hair.)
2. Flee to a deserted island. (Hard pass, see: coffee).
3. Hide in a corner of her apartment and rock back and forth. (Already doing it.)
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. 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.
