I love this bookstore! It’s a warm and welcoming space with a great selection of books and friendly, helpful staff. I live in Boston, but I make the trip out to Chestnut Hill just to go there.

Went in today and despite the whole shopping center being incredibly busy, the cashiers Zoe and Maria were so cheerful, helpful, and provided amazing recommendations to my daughter in middle school. The store itself is lovely too! Great ambiance and energy. Definitely recommend!
