Synopsis

An intriguing, twisting and heart-warming novel set in a bookshop that has an unexpected impact on people's lives. From the author of The Second Chance Book Club and Found in a Bookshop



When the Lost for Words bookshop in York hosts a recruitment event for a reading charity, four strangers' lives will change in ways they could never have expected . . .

Trixie is hosting the event. She loves her job at Lost for Words, and she's feeling grounded and calm - until a phone call from her ex throws everything off course.

Cherry only goes to the event because she needs to get out. Caring for her grandmother without any help is exhausting - and lonely. Maybe things will be different if her long-lost sister finally comes home.

Rosa and Jay really hit it off at the bookshop; it feels like the start of something special. And Jay is fantastic with Rosa's baby. But Rosa is keeping quite a big secret . . .

When you spend time with people who love books, you're sure to learn something about yourself - and maybe see a way to start in a different direction. As each of them is about to find out . . .
