T.B. Markinson
A heartbroken American librarian in Bath meets a Jane Austen-hating waitress — and they fall in love one book at a time.
Description
Best friends. Literary soulmates. Will they find a happily ever after together? Librarian Bennet Webb's dream trip to Bath was supposed to be perfect, a literary pilgrimage to honor Jane Austen's 250th birthday, topped off with a proposal from her longtime boyfriend. Instead, Bennet finds herself alone in the city of her dreams. That is until she meets an unexpected companion who changes everything for the better. Alice Higgins is a waitress by day, aspiring novelist by night, and sworn enemy of all things Austen. But when a flustered yet adorable American tourist stumbles into the restaurant where she works, Alice is surprisingly willing to reconsider her views. Soon the pair strike up a transatlantic book swap. Alice will read Bennet's beloved classics, and Bennet will try Alice's contemporary picks. What begins as a literary experiment turns into a connection that deepens with every page. Could the love stories they share lead to a happily ever after they never expected? Don't miss this heartwarming, slow-burn, cozy, friends to lovers romance about bad timing, good books, and the courage to choose the plot twist you never saw coming.
