Nothing about this book surprised me, but I thoroughly enjoyed it every step of the way.
Librarian and Bookstagrammer Valentia Baker’s cheating husband leaves her on the same day she receives notice that her mother, Eloise, who abandoned her when she was twelve, has passed away, leaving everything to her. With Love From London is a split POV story between Val and Eloise, who each reveal different loves and losses that have transpired in their respective lives.
I really liked this book. It was feel-good and happy, but also sad and mysterious. There were so many elements that fit together so well, maybe too well, as I saw them all coming from a mile away, but I digress. Sarah Jio wove the two stories together so nicely in such a perfect way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an easy, interesting read (check TWs though!).
