How to find Love in a Bookshop - By Veronica Henry

5☆ Beautifully written

Before Emillia's father passes away, he makes Emillia promise to keep the Nightingale book store open.

Julius opened the book store to help support Emillia and himself. As he was a single parent.
The story of Julius and the Nightingale book store was beautiful and compelling.
So you can understand why he so desperately want Emillia to keep the book store open.

Nightingale book shop reminds me of those gorgeous quaint book shops you find, where the owner knows every single book in the store and has a personal connection with each one and when you walk inside you just know you will find something very special. A true Gem!

It's a place that oozes Charm and welcomes everybody. Whether it's for a friendly chat, or to find a special book or present or just a place to escape.


Emillia knows how special the book shop is but what she wasn't aware of, was the fact her father was having financial troubles as the book shop wasn't making a profit. So she has a huge decision as to whether she can turn the Nightingale's around or sell up.

So when Jackson who works for the property developer comes sniffing round trying to entice Emillia into selling them the book store she is in for a tough ride.
Can she resist he's charm!

What I loved most about this book was the beautiful characters. Each character offering something very special to the book shop and story. The community is close and they all pull together to help Emillia with her decision.

I loved learning about the characters and each had their own unique story to tell.
For example you have Sarah the lady of the Manor who used to visit Nightingale to have a break from the pressures of the Manor, then you have Thomasina who has a passion for cooking and cookbooks... Which I can relate too as my collection is ever growing. She teaches cooking at the school which I think is so special.

But each character shares one thing in common the love of Nightingale's.

Emillia is so strong, she is dealing with the grief of her father's death and now coming to terms with owning her father's legacy.
She has big boots to fill, but she is perfect for the role. She has special memories within Nightingale's and her strength shines through.

For me How to find love in a bookshop is such a gem of a book. I don't think I have come across such a unique and special story like this in a while.

This book oozes Charm, strength, passion, Romance, Beautiful books, a compelling yet feel good read!
Thoroughly recommend to all book lovers. The perfect read.
