        Sophie Barrett discovers when she goes back to work, that she hasn't completely healed from an abusive relationship.  Her friend and boss encourages to take a vacation and heal. So she escapes to Cornwall, England. Where she finds herself staying above a bookshop. Every bookworm’s dream.  The shop is owned by Ginny Rose an American who followed a guy to Cornwall we can guess how that one ends. 

While staying in the bookshop Sophia discovers a journal over two hundred years of Emily Fairfax.  She's determined to find out if Emily was real and help Ginny save the bookshop she most certainly doesn't plan on falling in love.  

I enjoyed this one which has me wanting to pick up the first book by this author that I stopped.   I love this dual time novel in which the lives of Ginny and Sophia are effected by Emily's. Not to mention I loved how Sophia favorite book series and author play a big role in the story. 

This is a sweet contemporary novel that is a good read if you just want to curl up one day with a book and a cup of tea. 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
