Description

‘This book had me captivated from the start…a really great read.’ The Reading Shed

It’s never too late to rewrite your story…

It’s always been Emily Cotton’s dream to own her own bookshop. But sitting among shelves of haphazardly stacked books in a damp old barn, the reality feels a little different.

Kate Vincent hasn’t been back home in six years. But when she receives a desperate email from her childhood best friend begging for her help she doesn’t stop to think. Scenes of idyllic holidays with the Cotton family dance in her mind and she books a one-way ticket home to Wigtown.

But life for the Cottons isn’t all as she remembers and the secrets which once drove Kate and Emily apart are finally threatening to come to the surface. Now as the pair work together to save Emily’s failing bookshop – can they too begin a new chapter of their friendship?

The book had me captivated from the start, i loved the bookshop it made me want to hunt it down. The characters were well written and the storyline and area it was written in had me wanting more. Family relationships, love and friendship this is a really great read.

I was absolutely hooked on this book from the second I started reading it until the very last page. Absolutely fantastic debut from Jen Mouat. I'm a bit of a sucker for a cheesy chick-lit book now and then, and that's what I was expecting from this story, but it was actually so much more than that! I was surprised at the depth of the storyline, and found myself shocked a number of times at some slightly unexpected twists and turns.

The characters are really well written and I found myself able to relate to quite a lot of them for varying reasons. There was more than one occasion where I had to pause to wonder what I would have done in a similar situation. It's not too often that I'll finish a book and then have to sit and think about it for more than five or ten minutes.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one - will definitely be looking out for more books by Jen Mouat in the future. Thanks again for the opportunity to read this book before it's publication date!
