This is a story about friendships. This is a dating story. This is a story about lying. Even the donuts were supporting characters. You had so many people. Keep reading to find out what book I'm talking about today. 


Hey, I'm Kyla Denanyoh. Today, we're discussing the book "The Woman in the Library." Solari Gentill wrote this book. The book's genre is fiction. The book's theme is mystery. 

One of the most important aspects of this book to me is the background conversation between two writers, sharing notes and stories with each other. So, I won't give away the whole book, but there are people in a library, and a woman is among them. The Woman in the Library is the title of the book. But this is a story about writers.


I enjoy reading about writers. You get to see them go through their process of writing the book, including character development and plotting out stories. And the reason it's so important to know the interaction between the two writers is that, on the last page of the book, we find out who Leo is. Leo has been writing back and forth with Hannah throughout the whole book. And then, when you find out who Leo is, you're just like, ' But it all ties back to the Woman in the Library. ' 


Solari Gentill's chef's kiss, because the writing was brilliant; even as I was outlining the book review to do this today, I discovered that Solari Gentile was a lawyer, which makes sense to me, and my appreciation for her, of course, is even heightened. After all, she's a lawyer, but the pen pal aspect, with the writers going back and forth, really added another layer to the story.

This book, however, I couldn't put down; I burned through it in a weekend. You've got Cain, you've got Abel, Caroline, Hannah, Leo, Whit, Marigold, the mom, all of these people, right? Even the donuts were supporting characters. You had so many people. Don't worry. I didn't give you the whole plot. There's so much stuff there. I provided you with a comprehensive list of all the characters, but there's still more. Okay, there's so much more that I couldn't even discuss. But if you're looking for a book that you cannot put down, this is it. From the first page, as you're reading the letter, you're like, 'What's this about?' and then you realize, 'Oh, it's so good.' 


Until the next book review, Kyla
