Such a sweet novel especially if you are a book lover! Highly enjoyed the beautiful fictional town and its charm, the love interests, and of course the Book Wagon! Wishing something like that existed near me!

I could not wait to start this book, I love a book where the main character is a powerful woman who decides enough is enough and sets out on a journey to make her dream a reality. In this case her name is Bea and she has always wanted to start her own bookshop. But nothing is every as simple as it could be and Bea soon runs into a spot of bother, but she is a determined woman and if she wants something so badly she will do anything to stop anything getting in her way. It was a light and uplifting read, I loved Bea from the get go and how determined she is. I always find reading a book that is set around a bookshop very comforting, I am not sure why but I do. The perfect book for me.

Out in October, this is our third visit to the fictional town of Blossom Heath near Rye in Sussex, an area I know very well. Tired of her dead-end temp job, book lover and library volunteer Bea Miller somewhat impulsively decides to put all her savings into buying and doing up a horsebox as a mobile bookshop. Will her efforts be rewarded, or has she just made the biggest mistake of her life?

What I love about Julie’s books is the absolute warmth that suffices her characters and stories – it’s a genuine pleasure to spend time with Bea, her worried but supportive parents, her friends (although might one of them be more than friends?) and neighbours. She’s created a vibrant, believable community with all the friendships and tensions, trials and triumphs that go with small-town life. I also love the touches of romance – both good and bad – that go along with Bea’s journey, as well as the clear love of books woven right through the plot. I finished reading this a while ago now but it’s stayed with me. It’s the perfect uplifting comfort read and I am already looking forward to the next visit to Blossom Heath!

I was so excited to delve straight into this book, and my goodness it did not disappoint. I loved it. Just a really easy to read book.
