Yay! I can finally check this off my list to visit! Came here from Seattle and it was everything. Such a wide selection of romance novels. Such a cute, grand vibe here with lots of trendy stickers and cute bookmarks to browse and pair with a new book. The staff were also super helpful and friendly.

I had the BEST time at Grand Gesture Books last night, signing books and speaking with a local author as Edward Cullen sparkled above us. The atmosphere is beyond lovely, the curation *chef's kiss*, and the owner and staff a dream. I cannot wait to come back!

10/10 experience at Grand Gesture books! I happened to arrive after 6pm on a day they were scheduled to close early for their book club. However, after I mentioned I was from out of town and flying out in the morning, they let my friend and I in. They were incredibly friendly and hospitable; allowing us to freely browse and ask for recommendations despite being busy with preparing for their evening event. As a black woman reader, I felt incredibly validated and seen in their book inventory and their marketing materials. I highly recommend any book lover to stop by this book shop. I had a beautiful experience.
