3 out of 5 Stars.
Received from author in exchange for an honest review..
AJ always dreamed of turning the hotel into a book shop, and when she returns to Lily Hollow, that is exactly what she does. After the death of her husband and her grandfather, who left the hotel to her, she starts renovations. She has the opportunity to turn the hotel into a hotel and a book shop, which was always her dream.
AJ hires Matthew as her assistant and begins to fall for him. After being broken by her husbands death, she doesn't realize, at first, that she is falling for Matthew. But with the help of her newest employee, she realizes just what she wants in her life.
This isn't a book I would normally read, but I am glad I had the opportunity to read it and feel what the characters were feeling. This isn't just a story about a bookshop inside a hotel, it's a story about how life can change even after something traumatizing can happen. It's a story about returning to your roots and facing the people from your past.
This book was wonderful, and I recommend it for anyone. There is no age restriction on this one and it's a short and easy read with a lot of life lessons.
