"The Library of Borrowed Hearts" is an entertaining found family story, one I absolute loved reading! Bonus points for the small-town vibes with everyone in everyone else’s business. This story is a warm hug filled with second chances and an appreciation for books and the power of reading. I really enjoyed one particular twist in the book - one I can't give too many details on because it would ruin the adventure! -- but as I read, I was pleasantly surprised to have not guessed the big reveal. 

I would have loved to have an epilogue with this one. I wanted a bit more of a complete ending for a few of the characters, but overall, found this story to be a delightful read.
