Not Quite by the Book
by Julie Hatcher
Emma takes care of everyone- except herself. After taking over the family business because everyone else seemed to just let her do it all, she realized her life was passing her by. Her sister happily married with a baby on the way, her parents sliding into retirement, Emma decides to do something completely for herself, to find herself and change her life with her favorite writer, Emily Dickinson, in mind. She has a list she’s determined to complete, sure it will give her the life she wants.
This is set in a lovely New England town, a cozy manor, autumn, baking, tea, hot cocoa and sweaters. Emma experiments with writing poetry, baking, embroidery and gardening. She didn’t, however, count on the handsome handyman who shows up whenever the old manor leaves her with no heat, no power or no electricity.
This book is very sweet and brought me to tears a few times. To me, it was less about loving someone else and more really about loving yourself.
Note to spicy readers, although this is technically romance there is no spice. I give it a:
