Grief, car accident, Death of a love one

Elsy, a heartbroken lit professor, stumbles into the world of her favorite unfinished series—and into the path of Anders, a grumpy bookstore owner who doesn’t belong on the page.
The banter between Elsy and Anders is funny, sharp, and swoony in equal measure. 

I loved the end. It broke my heart and put it back together.
I also needed happy endings.
