โOne of the loveliest, most exquisitely beautiful books Iโve read in a very long time. . . . I didnโt just read the pages, I lived in them.โ โJennifer Niven, New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places
ย
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 hopeโand letters hidden between the pages.
ย
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 familyโs bookshop. She waited. But Henry never came.
ย
Now Rachel has returned to the cityโand to the bookshopโto work alongside the boy sheโd 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 canโt feel anything anymore.
ย
As Henry and Rachel work side by sideโsurrounded by books, watching love stories unfold, exchanging letters between the pagesโthey find hope in each other. Because life may be uncontrollable, even unbearable sometimes. But itโs possible that words, and love, and second chances are enough.
