Henry is on the cusp of adulthood as his family makes the difficult decision to consider selling their secondhand bookstore “Howling Books”. The bookshop contains a famous “letter library” that people leave letters, notes, poems in between the pages of books.
Henry’s old best friend, Rachel, has moved back to town after failing the 12th grade. She is a different, angrier person from three years ago after losing her brother to the sea. She is semi-forced into a new job to catalog the letter library before the bookshop is sold and is faced with her unrequited love on a daily basis.
This is such a beautiful tale of love and loss that every bibliophile would love.
Words in Deep Blue is a great choice! I also think of Chasing Lucky, which has a bookstore with a similar vibe. Great list, I love when books are in books!
Yes!!! I absolutely love books about books and bookshops! It should be its own sub-genre:D I will have to add Chasing Lucky to my reading list this month.
