Román Stratené kníhkupectvo Evie Woodsovej sleduje troch protagonistov, ktorých spojí tajomné miznúce kníhkupectvo a ktoré oslavuje moc kníh a pocit zázračna. Autorka kombinuje magický realizmus, historickú fikciu a romantiku, no recenzentke vadí, že sa tieto zložky neprepoja a dej sa stáva monotónnym. Najsilnejšou líniou je príbeh Opaline z vojnového obdobia, kým Henry nezasiahne a Martha je podľa recenzie absurdne hlúpa. Román má premárnený potenciál — pôsobivý štart a sympatický štýl písania, ale rozuzlenie a prepojenie fantasy prvkov autorke podľa recenzie nevyšlo.
