Really great read. A touching and loving story about a woman who helps bring together a museum filled with everyday things, all with stories from the people who owned them. Really well developed characters and back stories.

I did like this book and wish I could rank it higher but I felt like they tossed in way too many surprises at the end and it was just overboard

I spent a while telling her to dump her annoying boyfriend. He wasn't actually that bad they just were terrible together. The main story was a bit predictable but there were some nice stories in the history of the "junk" and a twist or 2 to keep things exciting.
