This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page is a heartfelt, bookish contemporary romance about grief, healing, second chances, and the transformative power of books.
When Tilly Nightingale receives a birthday gift from her late husband, Joe, at her local bookshop, she is surprised to discover that he has left her twelve carefully chosen books—one for each month of her first year without him.
With the help of Alfie, the kind-hearted bookshop owner, Tilly begins a reading journey that takes her from London to destinations around the world. As each book opens the door to a new experience, she slowly begins to discover who she is after Joe—and whether she can learn to love and live fully again.
A warm choice for readers who love bookshops, reading, emotional romance, grief-to-healing stories, and feel-good fiction.
