When I saw this mentioned on Twitter, I knew it was going to be a must-have. I didn't even read the description before I downloaded it -- just the cover:
Two lonely bookworms. An unexpected friendship. A library that needs their help...
I knew that years ago I had read and loved a Bella Osborne chick-lit so was sort of expecting the same. Maybe a rom-com. Two nerds fall in love in the stacks sort of thing.
This is so not that.
And it is so much better than anything that I had imagined.
Tom is an awkward and "invisible" sixteen year old. Invisible, that is, until he seeks solace in the library he used to go to with his mother as a young boy and catches the attention of seventy-two year old Maggie. They bond, they save each other, a few lambs and other people along the way ... and play a big part in saving the library, too.
At least, I'm assuming that the library will get it's Happily Ever After. I still have another 30% to read because eventually I do probably have to sleep.
If you want to share whatever has kept you up past your bedtime because you just needed one more chapter ... or the entire book ... please comment! My TBR pile is already toppling, but I can always add more.
