This book in 3 words: Wonderful. Sincere. Beautiful.
Valentina, librarian and bookstagram enthusiast, inherits a bookstore (and much more) due to her mother passing away. Dealing with a recent split from her husband, Valentina heads to London to learn more about the mother who left her behind at the age of 12.
I 100% recommend this book. The writing is stunning, the characters are interesting and have you invested from the start, and it's just so swoon. With Love from London will end up being one of my favorite reads of the year... I don't care how early it is. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BOOK!♥️♥️♥️ There are even fun bookstagram posts/content that fit so well with the story.
Told from 2 different timelines and POV's, Sarah Jio weaves them together like a queen, creating such a touching story about love, family ties, loss, and changing priorities. At times, I feel like the 2 POV style is a bit overdone and unoriginal, but that isn't the case here. I loved the writing style.
After this book, I couldn't help but start thinking about taking a trip to London. The setting and description is strong and entices the reader throughout. I could go on and on about how good this story is... but you'll have to find out for yourself.
Big thanks to NetGalley, Sarah Jio, and Ballantine Books. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

It was light and easy but I don’t recommend it for anyone who knows anything about London as the details are off and it’s irksome. Plus the plot was too far fetched and the writing too stilted for me to get properly bought in

Hodnocení: 4,5/5 ✩
Tato kniha je takovou příjemnou, lehce naivní i nostalgickou oddechovkou, s něžně romantickou zápletkou a dvěma dějovými liniemi. Ty jsou však v tomto případě, časově nepříliš vzdálené. Jedná se totiž o životní cestu matky, prolínající se, a přibližující dětství její, nyní již dospělé, dcery.
Překvapivě vyvážený děj, tak odhaluje rodinná tajemství, lásky, bolesti, tragédie, zrady i radosti. Příběh je to milý, netrpí na nedostatek zvratů, a nemá sklony ztrácet se ve zdlouhavých a nudných pasážích. Pokud tedy hledáte knihu, která je zajímavým náhledem do osudů jedné rodiny, zaujme, a dokáže i překvapit, pak Napiš si svůj šťastný konec, rozhodně není špatnou volbou.

Girlfriend loves an ellipsis. Writing was bland, story was okay. Technically a dying cancer mom briefly.
