I love a book about books, and this one did not disappoint. There are so many references to classic books, and I loved that this was included. This is an intriguing story that seems like a typical romantic comedy, but has much more depth and seriousness as Erin is grieving the loss of her best friend, a life altering issue that causes her to struggle in every facet of her life. The one thing she has to rely on is books, but she doesn't realize that she's actually connected to James through books as well and it's the thing that brings them together. I loved all the literary references and the idea of a book swap with a mystery man through a small free library. This is a romance at its core, but it features so much more: complex family dynamics, loss, mental illness, divorce/affairs, terminal illness, career disillusionment, school bullying and the long term impact it has on someone, etc. Erin and James were so amazing together, and this book definitely made me want to go out and find a little library in my community! 

Thank you to NetGalley, Tessa Bickers, and Harlequin for an eARC of this book.
