Book Summary:
Eileen Merriweather adores love stories. More specifically - she loves the story side of things. Stories (books) are safe. They can’t hurt her, not really - not like real life. So after suffering a great hurt, that’s where she flees.
Well, the books are one place she flees. The other was supposed to be a nice cabin in the middle of nowhere, but her car sort of broke down on the way there. Now, she’s trapped in a little town that feels all too perfect…and familiar.
My Review:
So, I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t read enough cozy romances. My bad. But the premise of A Novel Love Story (particularly the book-about-a-book element) really caught my attention, so I decided to dive right in, much like Eileen.
A Novel Love Story is a cute and sweet book. You can pretty much get a feel for the whole of the story within the first three or so chapters, minus a few details here and there. But that’s not a bad thing! There’s something so comforting when a book goes the way you want it to, you know?
This book gave me real Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls) vibes, and I mean that in the best of ways. It’s totally because of the quaint town and love of books, but I don’t mind. I also loved the overall positive tone of this book.
