My review:

I was introduced to Pepper Basham last year and LOVED the books that I have had the opportunity to read. Jane by the Book is no exception. 

Predictablity and order cultivate peace.

If only, right? What happens when Jane steps outside of her well-ordered box and goes to England with her best friend Nora? 

One of my favorite lines by Titus because it made me laugh:

Why did women have to be like a Chinese finger puzzle?

One of the best quotes for showing the depth of the novel:

The best stories are worth the risk of finding out the ending, you know? And sometimes, they're just a beginning to the next story.

Unforgettable characters. Laugh-out-loud moments. Swoon-worthy. Realistic. Lighthearted.  Charming. Corgis. Historical family drama. 

I highly recommend this book!

★★★★/5

Synopsis (from Goodreads): 

Four years ago, Jane Warwick escaped the shame and heartbreak of being jilted at the altar by becoming a housekeeper at the secluded Inn at Simeon Ridge. Predictable and quiet, the inn helps Jane find a place to heal and celebrates her strengths, where she is promoted to head housekeeper. But an unexpected visit to Bath, England, upsets Jane's plans and sends her out of her comfort zone, directly into the harrowing path of historical detective author, Titus Stewart.

The only plans Titus sticks to are family holidays and the ones that send him careening into his story worlds, but when an uptight and nervous innkeeper stumbles into his life - and his latest novel - nonfiction begins to take on a much more interesting gleam.

As the unlikely pair delve into the mystery behind a one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old letter, will they both uncover a romance that stands the test of time?
