Summary:
Charlie and Donna
Barton have been running the town’s bookstore for thirty years. They have
impacted the lives of many in their town by providing a meeting place for
friends, books for those in need, and friendly faces to talk to. In May, the
hundred-year flood hit Franklin, Tennessee and destroyed the store and almost
all of its contents. In the midst of trying to scrape up enough money to save
the store, tragedy strikes and puts Charlie and Donna’s future in
jeopardy.
When news spreads of the tragedy, two former workers come
back to town to help save the store. Molly Allen, who has lived alone after
walking away from the guy she fell in love with five years ago, Ryan Kelly. Ryan
has been living in Nashville after the band that he toured with broke up. They
must work together to save the store, and their relationship.
Pros:
· The
whole story centered around saving a bookstore; which is great because who
doesn’t love reading about books?
· I
loved that the focus is mainly on helping Charlie and Donna; the romance
between Molly and Ryan seems to be a secondary plot.
Cons:
· I
would have liked a bit more information about Molly and Ryan. I think liked
them so much because I accidentally saw the movie first which focused more on
them.
Final
Thoughts:
This is a delightful
Christmas book that you can read in one sitting. I definitely recommend this if
you have some extra time to fill and want a holiday book!
