A very happy read, enjoying the wittiness and friendliness of Ivy, Alex and their friends. Who wouldn't want to run a bookshop?!
What I also appreciate is that, despite this being a romance novel, there is more to this book than happy endings which would make it unrealistic and way too sweet.

However, I feel the need to share my unhappiness about the knitting club being full of 'busybodies' and 'old elephant ears'. As if book club members are all saints and never gossip?
I'd like to dare the author of this lovely book to come up with some classy characters similar to people in Love Blooms In Mermaid Point who also happen to be knitters or perhaps even spinners!
And perhaps a bit more diversity, possibly even adding someone who is chronically ill :)

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.

After Ivy loses her mother, she thinks about buying the bookshop in town, until newcomer Alex beats her to it. She is dealing with a lot, and he is there to help, but he is keeping secrets so what will happen when they re revealed in the worst possible way?

I liked how it is told from both their points of view. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
