jsilfen924 's review for:
With Love from London
by Sarah Jio
SO GOOD!!
Recently divorced Valentina heads to London after she finds out that she inherited a bookstore from her mother, Eloise, who abandoned her in LA when she was only 12. When Valentina gets to her mother's store in Primrose Hill, she finds a note from her mother in one of her favorite books. This note starts the beginning of a scavenger hunt, opening Valentina up to the important people from her mom's life and slowly revealing the real reason why she left all those years ago. With time, Valentina learns how much her mom really loved her and how this trip to London was just the beginning.
This book is told in two timelines from two point of views- Valentina in the present and Eloise in the past. The writing is clear, concise and easy to follow. I felt SO touched when reading this story and LOVE how everything came full circle in the end. Honestly, if you are looking for a fiction book, with a bit of romance, that will draw you in with a beautiful setting, well defined- characters, a perfectly constructed ending, I highly recommend this.
Read if you like:
-London setting
-Bookstores
-Scavenger hunts
-Love triangles
-Supportive communities
-Alternating timelines
*If you are looking for a book club read, I think this book would be perfect
