The Library of Borrowed Hearts
by Lucy Gilmore
I was first intrigued by this book’s cover, I love everything about the art on this one. Then I saw it was Lucy Gilmore’s newest book, and I got really excited. And then I read the description and I knew I was going to have an amazing time reading this book.
Chloe has been stuck in a life created by her mother’s choices for a long time. The oldest of four siblings she became responsible for the younger three when while she was off at school her mother up and left without a word to anyone. Working as an assistant in her local library is as close as she will get for the foreseeable future to her dream of being a full librarian, at least she gets to work around books. When she finds an old book in the library basement full of notes between two young lovers from the 60’s she finds herself needing to know what happened to them. And when she discovers one half of the pair is her extremely grumpy and irritable neighbour Jasper, she is even more intrigued.
I adored The Lonely Hearts Bookclub, and this book gave me the same wonderful kind of read, but I think I fell in love with this one even more. Chloe and her siblings will barge right into your heart and you won’t be able to shake them, and you won’t want to. Jasper is the perfect grumpy man with a heart waiting to be uncovered and his boisterous neighbours are just the people to do it. The timeline and perspective switches are flawless, and getting to follow the love story from the 60’s was a delight.
A perfect piece of cozy fiction that packs a huge emotional punch.
Look for this one April 30 2024.
Thank you so much to Sourcebooks and Netgally for letting me review this fantastic book.
