RaveThe Pittsburgh Post-GazetteMarvelous ... The Bookshop is a paean to those magical places and is a must-read to understand why bookshops have been such an integral part of American life for so long, and why they—even in an age of social media—remain an \'influencer\' today.

RavePittsburgh Post-GazetteSome books are great because there is a plot twist down the road and that road is a fun time ... Pittsburgh native Celeste Ng’s Our Missing Hearts is so compelling the reader will immediately want to know how it ends and that road – though every word is worthy – will seem like the enemy ... Pushes the reader along into territory that is uncomfortable and necessary. Our Missing Hearts soaks up societal ills like a sponge and wrings humanity from each sentence, laying our collective monsters out on each page in blistering detail ... While racing to the end of the novel, the reader discovers the long-lasting bond of family, the unyielding love between mother and child and a culture consumed by fear trying to find the pieces of its missing heart.
