Synopsis

The cozy comforts of an English village bookstore open up a world of new possibilities for Evie Starling in this charming new romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young.

At thirty-three-years old Evangeline Starling’s life in Chicago is missing that special something. And when she’s passed over for promotion at work, Evie realizes she needs to make a change. Some time away to regain perspective might be just the thing. In a burst of impulsivity, she plans a holiday in a quaint English village. The holiday package comes with a temporary position at Much Ado About Books, the bookstore located beneath her rental apartment. There’s no better dream vacation for the bookish Evie, a life-long Shakespeare lover.

Not only is Evie swept up in running the delightful store as soon as she arrives, she’s drawn into the lives, loves and drama of the friendly villagers. Including Roane Robson, the charismatic and sexy farmer who tempts Evie every day with his friendly flirtations. Evie is determined to keep him at bay because a holiday romance can only end in heartbreak, right? But Evie can’t deny their connection and longs to trust in her handsome farmer that their whirlwind romance could turn in to the forever kind of love.

I *maybe* would have liked this book more if I had read it instead of listened to it. Rather than embody the characters, the narrator elocuted the novel, putting distance between me and what could have been a very relatable protagonist with a precise delivery that came off as uppity and sometimes preachy.
The premise of this novel is complete escapist enticement, and honestly, I think the premise is the best thing about this book. Judging from the cover, I expected a “romantic comedy” akin to Talia Hibbert or Sofia Kinsella. Instead, this book was more “quaint village yarn” in...

The premise of this novel is complete escapist enticement, and honestly, I think the premise is the best thing about this book. Judging from the cover, I expected a “romantic comedy” akin to Talia Hibbert or Sofia Kinsella. Instead, this book was more “quaint village yarn” in the vein of Felicity Hayes-McCoy. There weren’t any laughs, the romance didn’t sizzle, and the heartbreaking drama at the end fell flat.
