What do you get when a chaos-loving dreamer, a grumpy single dad, and a possibly real mermaid diary collide in a cluttered curiosity shop? Pure bookish charm.

Finding Love at the Magical Curiosity Shop is a cosy, whimsical romance that blends fairy-tale flair with real emotional heart. Mickey, the eccentric shop owner who tells made-up stories about the items she sells, is all colour and chaos. When Ren—a straight-laced single dad with a serious allergy to clutter—walks into her world, neither of them expect what’s coming next.

The dynamic between grumpy and sunshine is well played here, and I loved the added depth of Ren’s daughter, Ava, who becomes an unexpectedly central part of the story. The hidden diary and hints of mermaid lore added a magical thread that kept me smiling.

If you love romances with quirky settings, gentle humour, and a bit of magic tucked into everyday life, this one’s worth stepping into.

A charming escape with heart, humour, and just enough sparkle to make it feel magical.

This was a great read. Great to be back in Ever after Street. What a story . Magical as ever. Loved the old and new characters. Mickey has taken over her father’s shop and lost her away . Throw in a teenage girl Ava and her handsome father and some mermaids and you have a brilliant story. Read on a plane and the flight flew by. Read it . Brilliant .

I honestly couldn’t even finish the first chapter. Ren was such an asshole from the start and I don’t like books where one MC is mean to the other MC for no reason whatsoever.
