A Rare Find

Melanie Montgomery hasn't left the bookstore in a while. And why should she? Her apartment is right above the business she owns and loves, her friends drop by to see her often, and groceries can be delivered to her door whenever she needs. And, most importantly, the rare books she loves are always right at her fingertips. So what if it feels like her world will implode if she even thinks about leaving the store? She just won't go out. Simple.

Samuel Reid's life has stagnated. At 42, he's retired from the lavish world of an international real estate agent and finds himself back at his grandparents' home in his old college town. Unsure of his next steps, he humors his grandfather by agreeing to sell off the rare books the man's collected over the years. It seems like it'll be a boring chore to help his grandfather out, but there is that very at-tractive bookseller down at Poor Oliver's...

Maybe being back in this small town won't be so bad after all.

This novel explores the world of rare book sales as well as the world of someone with agoraphobia.

This small-town romance has plenty of bookish vibes, a healthy dose of summer into autumn feels, and explores what it means to love someone who suffers with debilitating mental health issues.
