From the big city to a little yellow mobile library on the Isle of Skye ...When Jenna Palmer agrees to the new position of mobile librarian on the tiny Arrandale peninsular of the Isle of Skye, she knows she’s signing up for difficult working conditions and mediocre wages. But Jenna needs to get away, and a little yellow mobile library called Buttercup could be her escape to happier dreams ...However, whilst Jenna can get to grips with foggy island roads, local mermaid legends and even big purple monsters, she never expected to have to contend with a boss as grumpy as Daniel McGregor, or a young book lover as enthusiastic as his niece, Katrina.Arrandale might represent Jenna’s safe port in a storm, but could she and Buttercup also become a beacon of hope to Daniel, Katrina and the entire island community?
Welcome to my stop on the Happy Dreams at Mermaid Cove tour!
Set on the beautiful Isle of Skye, this book was just what I needed to get me out of a book slump. From the very first page, this book had me immersed in the beauty of Scotland and its people. There’s not much more that I love than a book that can transport me to an entirely different place.
The two main characters in this book, Jenna and Daniel are endearing characters who were a joy to follow through their individual journeys. Jenna, on her journey to find herself and her self-confidence. And, Daniel, who just needed to let go of the past.
If this book was just Jenna and Daniel, that would’ve been enough. Their story was lovely. However, on top of their sweet love story, Ms. Laval, gave the readers an inspiring ensemble of characters. I could argue that these characters are the very heart of the story.
This is the first time I’ve read Ms. Laval’s work. And, if her other stories are this beautiful and descriptive, I can’t wait to read them.
