Book People by Jackie Ashenden
I can so relate to the two main characters, spending time with books is my favorite thing. And libraries and bookstores were a part of my childhood. So for all those kids who escaped into books, hello!
At its core this book is about finding yourself. Sebastian thought all his life he didn't need anyone. All it took was one person to call him out and the carefully maintained facade starting to crack.
Kathryn is starting over with her dream. She's still working through her past choices and finding her roots in the small town of her birth is more than she every hoped. And she deserves to be happy, with more than a book.
