2/5

As a librarian, I had a love/hate relationship with this story. It pained my soul for the premise of this romance to be centered around writing in library books. It especially felt unrealistic for the FMC to be a librarian herself and writing in said books. 

I also was broken by the way their romance ended! Catherine leaving him while carrying his baby made me despise her. Before that point, I loved her and her relationship with Jasper. After, I felt like she was a vapid, spoiled, rich girl that played with Jasper's heart, especially after having her parents try to pay him off and fake her death.

Overall, I enjoyed the writing style and the present day characters, but I just couldn't forgive the damaging of the books or my heart. 

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
