Everyone has a story. You just have to read between the lines… ‘Will make you smile, make you cry, fill you with joy and warm your heart.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

***Shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists’ Association Contemporary Romantic Novel Award!***

When Elodie applies for the job of librarian in peaceful Willow Grove, she’s looking forward to a new start. As the daughter of a media empire, her every move has been watched for years, and she longs to work with the thing she loves most: books.

It’s a chance to make a real difference too, because she soon realises that there are other people in Willow Grove who might need a fresh start – like the homeless man everyone walks past without seeing, or the divorcée who can’t seem to escape her former husband’s misdeeds.

Together with local journalist Finn, Elodie decides these people have stories that need sharing. What if instead of borrowing books readers could ‘borrow’ a person, and hear the life stories of those they’ve overlooked?

But Elodie isn’t quite sharing her whole story either. As the story of the library’s new success grows, will her own secret be revealed?

An uplifting story about fresh starts, new beginnings and the power of stories, from the bestselling author of Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop! Readers LOVE Elodie’s Library of Second Chances! ‘A feel-good book that I didn't want to end. Five stars!’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Absolutely delightful… Captivating from start to finish.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Another day, another Rebecca Raisin gem to add to my favourites!… I ADORE Rebecca's books.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘A charming, positively warm book… A perfect summer read.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Grab yourself a cup of tea, sit down and prepare to be transported to a world of reading bliss.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘This book is a warm blanket and a cup of tea… I am so grateful I read it!’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Rebecca Raisin does it again!… Just wonderful.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘A favourite author of mine!… I always want to jump into her stories and live there!! This book is gorgeous.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
