My Review:
This is a great romance story. Not that everything was perfect, but I loved the build up for Haley and Levi. While I have seen some hyper critical reviews, this one checked the boxes for me.
Read for:
🕮 lumberjack
🕮 librarian/bookmobile driver
🕮 stranded
🕮 forced proximity
🕮 Sensory Processing Disorder
🕮 liver donor/survivor's guilt
🕮 the letters
🕮 Levi with the kittens
🕮 Haley with Levi's family
🕮 bookish book
🕮 the banter/LOL moments
While this very much is a romcom, there are heavier moments as well. I loved the balance, and getting to know these characters better. I can't wait for the third book in this series.
Synopsis (Goodreads):
Little Creek's bookmobile is more of a death
trap on wheels than a vehicle of literary delights, and circulation
librarian Haley Holt is afraid it's going to careen down a mountainside
with her in it. Yet she sees it as a way to serve her community and be
worthy of the liver transplant that saved her life as a child. However,
her fears come true when the bookmobile breaks down and a rockslide
traps her in the small hollow of Turkey Grove.
Reclusive mechanic
Levi Redding lives in tiny Turkey Grove to get away from people. He can
handle getting the bookmobile running again, but the endless chatter
and unsettling touch from the vibrant librarian leaves him
overstimulated. When forced proximity leads to a misunderstanding, a
note of apology begins an epistolary friendship, proving that sometimes
the happiest of endings aren't contained within the bindings of a book.
Sarah
Monzon pens a charming story for fans of books about books, the
forced-proximity and grumpy-sunshine tropes, and pen-pal romances.
