Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Watch Us Shine comes a “bewitching, warmhearted grown-up fairy tale about old movies, charming princes, and finding happily ever after in the place where you’d least expect it” (Jennifer Weiner).
When Martin Grace enters the hip Philadelphia coffee shop Cornelia Brown manages, her life changes forever. But little does she know that her newfound love is only the harbinger of greater changes to come. Meanwhile, across town, Clare Hobbs—eleven years old and abandoned by her erratic mother—goes looking for her lost father. She crosses paths with Cornelia while meeting with him at the café, and the two women form an improbable friendship that carries them through the unpredictable currents of love and life.
Reviews
Nicely written
4By Miri DuhThis is possibly one of my favorite books I own. Cornelia is engaging as a protagonist, and steers away from being a manic-pixie girl stereotype even with her eccentricities. Clare is absolutely heartbreaking, but completely loveable. My only criticism is the development of Cornelia and Teo's relationship. It seemed rushed? Overall though, it's a sweet book that isn't overly flowery or too try-hard. Definitely give it a read.An annual read
5By TokiactionI read this book once a year to reconnect with these characters. So eloquently written, you can't help but be engrossed in the lives of these beautiful characters. Love is exemplified in so many ways in this book. Be ready to reread quotes, paragraphs, and pages.. It's that good.Good
3By lemenheadA little to poetic! I skipped whole paragraphs.Love walked in
5By Maddie Dog !!!!I loved this book. It was a true love story but with so many life lessons.Love Walked In
3By trinkoDefinitely " chick lit". First two-thirds was excellent. Last third was too predictable, and one of the main characters seemed far less believable at the end.
