Summary

A book-hating bookshop owner and a hopeless romantic author discover that love isn't always by the book in this charming bookish, opposites-attract romantic comedy.

Love isn't always by the book...

Self-declared book hater Drew Young never expected to inherit her grandmother's old bookshop, the Book Nook. And now, as she prepares to host a signing for bestselling author (and hopeless romantic) Jasper Williams, she finds herself caught between a bookshelf and a hard place.

Sensing sparks between the unlikely match, a group of mischievous old ladies - otherwise known as the Book Nook's resident book club - spot the opportunity to do what they do best: meddle.

Pushed together, Drew and Jasper soon come to an agreement. If Jasper can create a book bucket list to introduce Drew to the joy of reading, she'll help him explore beautiful Colorado for his next book.

With the shop's future in jeopardy, Drew is determined not to get distracted by the love story Jasper wants to write for them.

She knows that real life isn't like it is in the books, but could Jasper be the plot twist Drew never saw coming?

Beautiful!!

This book was such a pleasure to listen to (narrator did an excellent job bringing the characters to life!). The main character was relatable, had great development in the book and although it’s a love story - the story was not predictable. Loved listening to this and only wish it was longer!

DNF

I was looking for a light and entertaining read and although I had my doubts about the premise and I struggle with the romance genre, I decided to give this book a go. Should not have bothered. Very boring book - imbecilic main character, ridiculous plot line.
