3.0

E-Arc received from Netgalley.com. Thank you Orion Dash and the author for this review opportunity.

Told from dual perspective, one the daughter in present time and the other her mother in the 80's.
Veronica, a recent divorcee arrives in London after the death of her estranged mother to inherit a bookshop. Veronica heartbroken and lost finds the essence of her mother in that bookshop which is in trouble... On the other hand Young Eloise in the 80's is being courted for marriage and she meets what she thinks her is her soul mate.... Alas things don't go how she wants them too. Meanwhile, Veronica is on a scavenger hunt set up by her mother, to lead her to the truth behind her leaving Veronica as a child. While Eloise tries to find the Elusive Edward before she has to make a decision that would change the course of her life, Veronica is looking looking for the mysterious annotater who left left notes in her favourite childhood book.

This is a bittersweet book, I'm sure we've read and seen on screen stories just like this but it never gets old.
Its a book about second chances at life, about fulfilling your dreams not quite they you planned and that books are always there to rescue you.
