When you're lonely, a good book can feel like a friend. But what if it could connect you with someone in real life?
Bookshop owner Jude has always enjoyed finding the perfect book for her customers. But when she sees how a love of the same book can bring people together, she starts using her shop to help people connect. Soon, her book-matchmaking starts to change the lives of everyone around her, from young Harper trying to find love to the elderly ladies who frequent her café.
Before long, perhaps Jude's own life will be changed in unexpected ways too.
Because the right story might lead you to the right person . . .
