ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
“One of the loveliest, most exquisitely beautiful books I’ve read in a very long time. . . . I didn’t just read the pages, I lived in them.” —Jennifer Niven, New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places
A beautiful love story for fans of Jandy Nelson and Nicola Yoon: two teens find their way back to each other in a bookstore full of secrets and crushes, grief and hope—and letters hidden between the pages.
Years ago, Rachel had a crush on Henry Jones. The day before she moved away, she tucked a love letter into his favorite book in his family’s bookshop. She waited. But Henry never came.
Now Rachel has returned to the city—and to the bookshop—to work alongside the boy she’d rather not see, if at all possible, for the rest of her life. But Rachel needs the distraction. Her brother drowned months ago, and she can’t feel anything anymore.
As Henry and Rachel work side by side—surrounded by books, watching love stories unfold, exchanging letters between the pages—they find hope in each other. Because life may be uncontrollable, even unbearable sometimes. But it’s possible that words, and love, and second chances are enough.

Someone that teaches creative writing would in it self make the novel worth a read and to top it off as a love story makes me interested as well. I have placed this one on my list. GREAT review. Now I'm thinking which one to read next as my list as the list really long. LOL
It's so blasted hot that staying inside and reading is in order! Happy Summer!
I am interested in the fact the main character's died recently so she is feeling numb. Lately I have been reading several books about grieving. Yes, it is hot in Texas too, prime reading or listening weather.
I love the cover and the idea of the secret letters.
