Many thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Kate Storey. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Erin runs The Bookmark Cafe, a local community hub where people can relax with a coffee and treat while reading or working. Erin is scarred from a previous relationship and is scared of any change or risk, so much so that her book club reads the last page of their selection first just to make sure it's worth the chance. When a new member arrives, Erin is uncomfortable with her feelings towards him. She's also scared because she's received a letter raising her rent, and she fears she will have to shut down the cafe.
What a lovely novel and just what I would expect from this author. The characters are all wonderful (even the cat!) and you just can't help rooting for all of them to make some changes. It's also the story of the power of a community, both for having safe places for people to gather and the larger aspect of caring for each other. I liked how the book club embraced their name in a new way, and the ending was just perfect.
