This was fun and sweet. It definitely felt derivative in parts with all of the references and quotes from other books, but I like other books so it was fun. It got bogged down a bit from all of the references, though. It was a bit maudlin and predictable, but overall a fun read.

If you don’t like Wuthering Heights…don’t read this. But it’s still cute.

I am genuinely so sad because this book started so strong and I liked it less and less as the story progressed. The beginning of the book started with so much promise and intrigue. I wanted to know more about the lovers who wrote in the margins of the books. This book lost me though when we moved away from Chloe as the main narrator and onto the others. I don't feel that having chapters from the other POVs added anything to the book and instead made it feel a little dull. I'd much rather have had more dialogue between the characters and that be how these stories were revealed. I really, really hated Chloe's mom and really did not like the conflict between Jasper/Catherine. What kind of deranged person fakes the death of themselves and their child and thinks that it is okay??? The book didn't emphasize enough that this is truly terrible behavior.
This book is not a romance in my opinion. It's a women's fiction with a hint of mystery. There is kind of a happy ending, but it's not a strong one.
Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book.

Lovely characters and plot set in small-town wooded Washington state in present-day and 1960. Hard-working, good-hearted people, with enough flaws and challenges. Lots of literary references and quotations.
