The Library of Borrowed Hearts by Lucy Gilmore

5.0

---

In The Library of Borrowed Hearts, Lucy Gilmore weaves the story of Chloe and her family with a decades old mysterious love story discovered in notes left in library books. Chloe is 19 and has dropped out of college, abandoning her dream of being a librarian, to care for her 3 siblings when their mom leaves them. Chloe works as a library aide barely making ends meet but committed to her family. Her next door neighbor Jasper is as curmudgeonly as Ove and has not made Chloe’s family’s life any easier. I love how Gilmore redefines family in her novel.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
