Description

When the Lost for Words bookshop in York hosts a recruitment event for a reading charity, four strangers' lives will change in ways they could never have expected...

Trixie is hosting the event. She loves her job at Lost for Words, and she's feeling grounded and calm — until a phone call from her ex throws everything off course.

Cherry only goes to the event because she needs to get out. Caring for her grandmother without any help is exhausting and lonely. Maybe things will be different if her long-lost sister finally comes home.

Rosa and Jay really hit it off at the bookshop; it feels like the start of something special. And Jay is fantastic with Rosa's baby. But Rosa is keeping quite a big secret...

When you spend time with people who love books, you're sure to learn something about yourself — and maybe see a way to start in a different direction. As each of them is about to find out...

An intriguing, twisting and heart-warming novel set in a bookshop that has an unexpected impact on people's lives.
