The Bookish Wife of Nina Hill

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill is by Abbi Waxman. A charming realistic fiction comedy. Nina works in a bookstore and lives alone with her cat. Her mother never married her father and refuses to tell Nina who he was. One day a lawyer arrives to tell Nina her rich father has died and left her a portion in his will. He also tells Nina she has a very large eccentric family. Nina must decide if she wants to be a part of a family who may not want her, and what she received from her father and what she wants to do with it. She also has to decide what to do with her trivia team nemesis with whom she is smitten. This is a delightfully funny romantic comedy.
