Looking for a light and breezy read? "Love at First Book" follows American Emily Allen as she embarks on her dream: assisting her beloved author Siobhan Riordan while running a quaint bookshop in the quintessential Irish village, Finn’s Hollow. Excited to be embarking on an exciting adventure, her plans are complicated by her snarky boss, Kieran, who seems determined to undermine her. Despite their initial animosity, a palpable chemistry develops, only to be threatened by a revealed secret. Will Emily stay in Ireland and complete her mission, or will Kieran's sabotage and the secret send her back to the States? Recommended as an easy and satisfying choice for readers looking to meet their 2025 reading goals.

BRITTNEY PRESSLEY THE WOMAN YOU ARE !!!! i read this book while listening to her voice and she is so talented i cannot !!! i'd argue her voice made this experience of this book so much better and i wouldn't have it any other way
