Your Fault: 2 (Culpable)

Product Information

The entire concept of an independent bookstore closing down due to an apparent financial crisis so a parking lot can be constructed on the same grounds is a prime example of the current scenario around bookstores losing a battle against online retailers, technology, and the mere hunger for money by some selfish personas.

Overall, an absolute favourite that I'll always be recommending to anyone who wants to read a contemporary that's greatly focused on friendship and feminism while lightly strumming to romance and mystery too. Grace lost her little sister to a tragic accident when she was younger & is haunted by this everyday. From TikTok and Wattpad sensation Mercedes Ron comes the English translation of the next in the hit Culpable series, a delicious and angsty enemies-to-lovers romance. But this also highlighted some of the darker aspects of the bookish and author community in general. There is a storyline with a popular male author who sexually harasses one of the girls in the bookstore and we find out about him having shown behaviour like that for many years. Being someone who struggles with her own mental health, I could totally relate to the anxieties & paranoia that were haunting Grace.This book also had so much diversity that it was amazing! The rep included anxiety, depression, lesbian, Latinx, Korean, Middle Eastern, and biracial. I will note that I’ve seen this book being billed as lgbtq+ but the lesbian rep pretty much only included a scene where a girl breaks up with her girlfriend, and another scene that hints at flirting. It’s definitely there, just as there’s so much effortless diversity in this book, but I wouldn’t really call this a lgbtq+ book because of it. I did not see the twist coming which is always a bonus reading a thriller, my only criticism if I were to give one would be the "action" part and twist could have gone on longer and filled quite a bit more of the book. i always love books about books and the book community. they always warm my heart in an unexplainable way. and i feel like this book, while its not the coziest book, can definitely provide some of that warmth. aminah safi does an amazing job capturing the feel of indie bookstores, the wonderment and amazement of them. the home-y feel they have to them, and the community that constantly visits them, like its their beautiful little secret. i honestly want to go and visit Wild Nights bookstore and see all their cool installments, like the roller girl and the old bank vault with all the mystery novels inside. When I realized that this story was actually going to take place over the course of one day and only in this book store, I definitely felt a little bit apprehensive. I thought that it would probably make it hard to get attached to the characters and to really feel invested in their storylines.

aminah mae safi’s this is all your fault is an ode to indie bookstores, strong women, and poetry. this story, told over the course of one day from the perspectives of three girls, will surely warm the hearts of book lovers of all ages! From the manager who is a supportive woman to these three main characters who believe in their individuality, their dreams, and themselves, the girls definitely rule in this book. The girls are the ones deciding to do all they can to save this bookstore and it's a pleasure to read about Imogen's mother and the love for poetry that has passed down from an immigrant parent to the little girl named after the heroine in Cymbeline—one of Shakespeare's plays. I will say that I wasn't the biggest fan of the relationships between the characters and how they developed. This was genuinely the weakest aspect of this story for me and I think that this is definitely an aspect that suffers if you write a story that just takes place over the course of one day. This book has a premise that sounds very simple, but the story it tells is so beautiful and profound.

I really enjoyed this one a lot. It took me a while to get into it, but when I did, I ended up really liking it, and that was mostly due to the characters (yes, like in any book I read). The book begins with teenage Grace and her younger sister Hope out in the rain when Hope decides to ride her bike down a steep hill. A car coming the other way doesn't see her and she is killed; something which then haunts Grace throughout the book as she struggles to deal with what happened and her parents reaction to it. She calls her parents Mother and Father, as she feels that after Hope's death, they blamed her and are not close to her any more.

After hearing about the indie bookstore they work at shutting down, three very different young women decide that they are going to save it before its too late. In general while I truly didn't feel very attached to these character because of the nature of this story and the short time span, I just genuinely adored the way these characters were portrayed as flawed but willing to learn and grow.
