I found this book on the ‘just returned’ shelves at Central Library awhile back and immediately fell in love with the cover, took it home and finished my first read, then purchased my own copy. A second read of this story of a young bibliophile-curmudgeon’s small town (or rather, island) bookstore and his journey was just as beautiful as the first. There is hope and tenderness in A.J.’s heartbreaking story… and more than a few hearty laughs along the way.
