Perfect for readers who love bookshops, found family, complicated mothers, slow-burn romance, and women rebuilding their lives somewhere beautiful.

​

Madison “Moody” Taylor’s life is not fine.

She’s exhausted, heartbroken, and still trying to become the kind of daughter her mother might finally approve of. Then, just when everything falls apart, Moody learns she has inherited Blithe Books, a neglected bookshop on Victoria Street in Edinburgh, from an aunt her family never bothered to mention.

Her mother wants her to sell it.

 

Moody buys a plane ticket instead.

 

In Scotland, she finds cobblestones, secrets, cousins who feel like home, and Alex—the sweet, handsome former customer who somehow followed her across the ocean.

But when her old life reaches for her new one, Moody must decide whether she’ll keep surviving by running—or finally stay, fight, and let herself be loved.
