“Absolutely delightful.” —People The enchanting story of a bookshop, its grieving owner, a supportive literary community, and the extraordinary power of books to heal the heart Nightingale Books, nestled on the main street in an idyllic little village, is a dream come true for book lovers—a cozy haven and welcoming getaway for the literary-minded locals. But owner Emilia Nightingale is struggling to keep the shop open after her beloved father’s death, and the temptation to sell is getting stronger. The property developers are circling, yet Emilia's loyal customers have become like family, and she can't imagine breaking the promise she made to her father to keep the store alive. There's Sarah, owner of the stately Peasebrook Manor, who has used the bookshop as an escape in the past few years, but it now seems there’s a very specific reason for all those frequent visits. Next is roguish Jackson, who, after making a complete mess of his marriage, now looks to Emilia for advice on books for the son he misses so much. And the forever shy Thomasina, who runs a pop-up restaurant for two in her tiny cottage—she has a crush on a man she met in the cookbook section, but can hardly dream of working up the courage to admit her true feelings. Enter the world of Nightingale Books for a serving of romance, long-held secrets, and unexpected hopes for the future—and not just within the pages on the shelves. How to Find Love in a Bookshop is the delightful story of Emilia, the unforgettable cast of customers whose lives she has touched, and the books they all cherish.

Finding and sustaining love can be challenging, but it's also one of the most rewarding experiences in life. The first step in finding love is to focus on yourself and your own happiness. This means taking care of your physical and emotional well-being, pursuing your passions and interests, and developing strong friendships and connections with others. It's important to remember that you don't have to change yourself to find love - being authentic and true to yourself is the key to attracting a compatible partner. Once you've found love, sustaining it requires ongoing effort and communication. This means being open and honest with your partner, making time for each other, and actively listening and understanding each other's needs and feelings. It's also important to maintain a sense of independence and individuality, and to continue to invest in your own growth and development. By nurturing your relationship with care and commitment, you can build a lasting and fulfilling partnership.
