Storybook Ending: A Novel

NOW IN PAPERBACK, a charming story about friendship, community, and the magic that happens in bookstores—when an anonymous note left in a book finds the wrong recipient.

April, a smart and lonely remote worker, worries that she’s on her own too much. Taking bold action to remedy the situation, she’s left an anonymous note in a book for Westley, the flannel-wearing, sweetly smiling clerk at her Seattle neighborhood bookstore. But thanks to fate, Laura—a busy single mom who’s given up on love—buys the book, finds the note, and thinks Westley has left it for her. A handsome man who loves books might be just what her life needs. 

Meanwhile, Westley—not the most perceptive—is too distracted by the movie filming at the store and the ambition it’s unlocked in him to notice either of the two women. But as April and Laura’s anonymous correspondence continues back and forth, their mundane routines are challenged, sparking a glimmer of hope. Is a happy ending in the cards for them?
