Welcome to the Happy Hartes Bookshop in Micklewick Bay on the beautiful North Yorkshire Coast!
The Happy Hartes Bookshop has been a part of bookworm Florrie Appleton’s life as far back as she can remember. From the evocative smell of the books, to working alongside her beloved Mr H and his black Labrador, Gerty, there’s no wonder she calls it her happy place.
Living in a town she loves, with her family and group of close-knit friends around her, life is sweet. Until one dreadful Monday morning, when everything is turned upside down and things are changed forever.
Devastated, Florrie finds herself thrown into an unexpected situation with handsome stranger, Ed Harte, owner of a pair of twinkly navy-blue eyes and a smile that has the knack of making mischief with her insides.
Despite herself, Florrie quickly finds herself falling for him, but she’s torn, reluctant to give her heart to someone who seems intent on not sticking around.
While her heart’s doing battle with her head, Florrie soon finds herself privy to a secret with Ed involving a heart-wrenching twist they could never have imagined.
Will love find a way to bring them together, or are they destined to go their separate ways?
This book… It was just so enjoyable!
Florrie has been working at the Happy Hartes Bookshop for a long time. So long that Mr. H, the owner, feels like family.
When things take a turn, Florrie finds herself in a tailspin of grief and shock. And Mr. H’s grandson, Ed, is in the picture and all kinds of feelings pop up.
This story was a slow-burn, sweet and somewhat-predictable tale of Florrie–who has an amazing story arc throughout this book.
I find myself wishing I could spend some time at Happy Hartes Bookshop in Micklewick Bay.
