Oh my heart!  The Reading List delighted and charmed this book lover’s soul.  

 

Mukesh is a widower, lonely and heartbroken, not sure how to live life without his wife of fifty years.  Aleisha has a tumultuous home life, and while she doesn’t know much about books, she needs the money that being a librarian can provide her family.  Mukesh and Aleisha are the most unlikely of friends.  Everything about their lives is different.  

 

But once they stumble upon the reading list, serendipity partners with many good books to create connection and healing.  

 

All book lovers know how impactful good literature can be.  Adams uses the magic found in books to deal with the hard topics of loss, grief, and mental health.  I loved watching Mukesh and Aleisha evolve as they were shaped and comforted by literature. 

 

Snuggle up with this book, a cuppa chai, and a cozy blanket.  You’ll feel completely uplifted by the end of this endearing story.
