About the Book:

Escape to Avila Falls in this Cozy Second-Chance Romance

Jane is a successful ghostwriter living her dream in New York City, collaborating with movie stars and musicians while quietly longing to publish her own novel.

But just as her career comes to a crossroads, she’s called back to her hometown of Avila Falls, a charming mountain town with a colorful cast of characters, where a chance encounter with her high school crush stirs unexpected questions about her NYC life. These doubts deepen as Jane tries to find her place back in Avila Falls; begins a new project with Liv, a pop star grappling with her own identity; and reconnects with a friend and mentor who runs the local bookstore, And Then There Were Books.

Jane begins to see her hometown differently and sparks begin to fly. She questions whether the version of herself she’s created is truly who she wants to be. Could the answers she’s searching for lie in the very place she once ran from?

My Thoughts:

I don’t often choose modern day settings for novels, but this book captured my attention. I’m always drawn to second chance stories. It was a good book, not too fluffy, not too intense. It was thoughtful with the main character asking herself some significant questions and engaging with the uncomfortable process of evaluating her life. I think we all can use a reminder that we can change directions if we find ourselves on a path that isn’t leading us where we want to go. And a bit of a romance and a small town book store thrown into the mix just makes it more delightful.

I received a free digital pre-release of this title to read. I’m providing you with my honest opinion.
