This book is a heartwarming “found family” story about Posey,  who lives a quiet life running a bookstore in a small town, and Noah, a man deeply scarred by a traumatic past. After a devastating event in his teens, Noah has spent years raising his younger brother while working nonstop, leaving no time for a personal life. Posey, who helps run the bookstore with a fatherly-like boss figure who might just be apart of a mob, meets Noah through a coffee shop next door. Their initial one-night encounter unexpectedly blossoms into something more as they navigate Noah’s complicated life. As their relationship deepens, an event occurs that changes their lives forever. The story is emotional, compelling, and filled with moments that make you root for both characters. It would make an excellent movie. I just couldn’t put this book down! Lovedddddd it! This is one author that I will continue to read in the future.
