I received an advanced digital copy of this novel from the author, publisher and NetGalley.com.

This novel is a absolute gem! A must read for fans of Ms. Jenner and The Jane Austen Society.

5 out of 5 stars.

This historical fiction book was a joy to read. Whether you are interested in historical fiction or not it is well-written and presents a great story. You get a history full of details including historical individuals. The characters are strong and well-developed. The narrative keeps the reader engaged. This book opens up history and London as it was during this time to readers. It also gives readers an insight into the characters and what they are going through from the challenges and frustrations to what their life was like in society. The writer is talented in her writing and bringing characters to life as well as her story. She brings a genuine feeling story full of strength and history that is a wonderfully plot-driven story and intelligent. This is also a fantastically written story of self-discovery and courage. This book has got it all!

A fun read about a bookstore. run by men, and the women employees who they underestimate. I did not realize this was a series, but it can certainly be read as a stand alone novel.

Thank you #StmartinsPress and #NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

A slow, sweet read set in post WW2 England. I didn't dislike it, it was just hard for me to connect with the story and the characters. I tried. I really did. Overall a delightful book for someone who enjoys a slower sweet read.

I received an advanced copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to NetGalley, St Martins Press, and Natalie Jenner. 🩷

Austen society #2 does not disappoint! I love the interweaving of the characters, the plot is fantastic, and the camaraderie is second to none.

I really enjoyed this story of women standing up to the men in a 1950's bookshop in England. All of the characters are simply lovable and I was rooting for them wholeheartedly. A delightfully, sweet read!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for an advanced readers copy of this book for my honest review.

A fun sweet read! Highly recommend.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my ARC.

I loved this book! It's well-written, enjoyable, and a great read. Natalie Jenner did a great job of writing in a way that captures the readers attention, and makes you not want to put it down until you're finished! I would highly recommend it!

A slow, dreamy visit to Bloomsbury Books. It's post WWII 1950s London and three amazing women work in the bookstore amidst the men who are resisting change at every turn. I was immediately immersed in the time period and in the lives of Vivien, Grace and Evie. A lovely historical fiction novel to read when you want to be fully engaged in a lovely story.

This book was such a pleasant surprise to return to after a lengthy absence. My only regret is not finishing it when I started it. The characters are we developed and time period appropriate, with so many wonderful person characteristics as to make them each memorable. This book is going to sit in my thoughts for a long time.

Bloomsbury Girls is an exquisite and enthralling novel that pays tribute to the influence of literature, women, and friendship. It is an ideal selection for admirers of historical fiction, books about books, and Jane Austen. I would earnestly endorse it to anyone who appreciates a well-crafted story with remarkable characters and a touch of history.

I really enjoyed this book and am so thankful to have an early copy! You'll love it, especially if you are a histoical fiction fan! Thank you so much to netgalley for this advanced readers copy!

Any novel portraying female authors is at the top of my list. Bloomsbury Girls did not disappoint. The second I. The Jane Austen Society and it’s a must read. It’s a journey through books that will make your heart smile.

I enjoyed this slow burn historical fiction set just after WW2. Strong female characters and a book store - what’s not to love!

I loved this book. I loved the characters and the pace of the story. Thanks Net Galley for an advance copy. I have recommended to my book club and my mother who loves reading tooQ

I really enjoyed this story about the women and pushing themselves in a man's world bookstore. Very descriptive and you felt you working right along with these women. Great story.

Such a darling book! I couldn’t put it down. It was just what I needed on a nice family getaway. Such rich history and captivating plot and so well written. Loved it!

This was an interesting look at historical lies in a fictional way. I found it interesting, and was constantly surprised with the flow of the book.

What a wonderful book with great characters! I absolutely loved this book and I will look forward to her next new book to be released so I can read it too. Thank you for such a great book!

Bloomsbury Girls is the second in the series The Jane Austen Society and often references the events and characters of that book. While reading The Jane Austen Society first isn’t necessary, I would recommend starting with that one.
There were a lot of characters to keep track of, and while some of the male supporting characters were a little hazy for me at first, the three women central to the story: Evie, Vivien and Grace were strong and defined. The period directly following the end of WWII was a time of transition for women, who had stepped up during the war and filled jobs the men vacated while they were off fighting, only to be expected to move aside once the war was over to let the men fill those power positions once again.
While I loved the concept of this book, enjoyed the setting of the bookstore and find this time period after the Second World War quite interesting, the characters and storyline failed to really grab me until about the last third of the book. I’m glad I stuck with it, as I really loved the ending! The women in the story rise up and take what they want, and I enjoyed how the group of women came together to become a powerful force.
Though I found this book slow-moving, if you’re a fan of historical fiction, post-war London, books about books and bookstores, this story might be for you.
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an egalley in exchange for an honest review.
