Bookish picks up where Bookworm left off- at the cusp of teenage, when everything - including the way we read - undergoes a not-so-subtle transformation. It's an ode to our favourite bookish spaces and a love story to how books not only shelter our souls through hard times and help us find ourselves when we feel lost, but also help us connect with the people we love through shared stories.
