Amid literature and lattes, three women come together and find that sharing one's journey with best friends makes life richer.

The Printed Letter Bookshop

If this novel had been a mystery, the sabotage / vandalism that comes at the start of the third act, would have been the end of the first act. The near destruction of the bookshop would have come on the heels of Maddie's death, serving as evidence that her death might just have been murder. Here, though, the damage serves to force Maddie to accept defeat.

There is a happy ending of sorts, one that finally brings the three protagonists together. But as the ending to a novel, it felt rushed.

I need my own copy of this book, I'm going to want to read it seasonally, just as a reminder of good things in this world

I love books about bookshops. I love books about quaint villages and cute shops. I love books with interesting women.

The problem I had with this book was the influx of characters I couldn’t keep up with and the passage of time that just seemed to flow so quickly I was totally unable to keep up.

I’d recommend this to people who enjoyed How To Find Love In A Bookshop and similar.

I loved this book! Touching & warm. Definitely recommended.

“Powerful, enchanting, and spirited, this novel will delight.” —Patti Callahan, bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis Love, friendship, and family find a home at the Printed Letter Bookshop One of Madeline Cullen’s happiest childhood memories is of working with her Aunt Maddie in the quaint and cozy Printed Letter Bookshop. But by the time Madeline inherits the shop nearly twenty years later, family troubles and her own bitter losses have hardened Madeline’s heart toward her once-treasured aunt—and the now struggling bookshop left in her care. While Madeline intends to sell the shop as quickly as possible, the Printed Letter’s two employees have other ideas. Reeling from a recent divorce, Janet finds sanctuary within the books and within the decadent window displays she creates. Claire, though quieter than the acerbic Janet, feels equally drawn to the daily rhythms of the shop and its loyal clientele, finding a renewed purpose within its walls. When Madeline’s professional life falls apart, and a handsome gardener upends all her preconceived notions, she questions her plans and her heart. Has she been too quick to dismiss her aunt’s beloved shop? And even if she has, the women’s best combined efforts may be too little, too late. "The Printed Letter Bookshop is a captivating story of good books, a testament to the beauty of new beginnings, and a sweet reminder of the power of friendship.” —Rachel McMillan, author of Murder in the City of Liberty
