Elodie’s Library of Second Chances

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.  Disclosure: Affiliate link included. Full disclosure here.

An uplifting story about fresh starts, new beginnings and the power of stories, from the bestselling author of Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop!

When Elodie applies for the job of librarian in peaceful Willow Grove, she’s looking forward to a new start. As the daughter of a media empire, her every move has been watched for years, and she longs to work with the thing she loves most: books.

It’s a chance to make a real difference too, because she soon realizes that there are other people in Willow Grove who might need a fresh start – like the homeless man everyone walks past without seeing, or the divorcée who can’t seem to escape her former husband’s misdeeds.

Together with local journalist Finn, Elodie decides these people have stories that need sharing. What if instead of borrowing books readers could ‘borrow’ a person, and hear the life stories of those they’ve overlooked?

But Elodie isn’t quite sharing her whole story either. As the story of the library’s new success grows, will her own secret be revealed?

Author Bio –

Her heroines tend to be on the quirky side and her books are usually set in exotic locations so her readers can armchair travel any day of the week. The only downfall about writing about gorgeous heroes who have brains as well as brawn, is falling in love with them – just as well they’re fictional. Rebecca aims to write characters you can see yourself being friends with. People with big hearts who care about relationships and believe in true, once in a lifetime love. Her bestselling novel Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop has been optioned for film with MRC studios and Frolic Media.

MY REVIEW

If you love charming books, you will really adore this read. It has all the joys of a good fairy tale: a rich girl who has a dream, a small English village, a handsome guy, and a library that’s about to go under. This book-loving young lady has left her high-pressure job with her family empire to become a librarian.

This is her dream to take a dilapidated library and bring it to life. To get the grant needed to save the library, she’ll have to drastically increase the members. She has some exciting new ideas to make that happen. At the same time, she helps many people in this village and she is living the life she’s always wanted.

Romance is blooming for her and she’s very happy. One little issue is that she hasn’t told anyone her true identity. Will they find out and then turn against her? Will her parents let her be, or will they keep demanding that she come back to take over the company?

To get the grant needed to save the library, she’ll have to drastically increase the members. Can she do it? Will she tear apart the village in her persuit?
