Resumen del Editor

Within the margins of an antique book, a timeless love waits for a young woman on the precipice of a terrible mistake in this enthralling new novel from the acclaimed author of Some of It Was Real.

Constance Sparks always says yes…when her capricious best friend needs money; when her boss gives her more responsibility without a raise; and when her boyfriend, Hayden, who is very kind but also secretive, asks her to marry him.

While planning their wedding—and struggling with anxiety about the right course for her future—Constance researches the history of her antique engagement ring and unearths the name of a man who might be connected to it, plus his tragic love story. When she finds a book of letters in her library’s old manuscript section written by the long-dead man, Constance is deeply touched by his words and leaves a note for him confessing her uncertainty and doubts. She’s shocked days later to find a response tucked among the pages.

As the notes continue to arrive, Constance finds herself quickly falling in love with a ghost and putting her real-life relationship in jeopardy. Will a bond based on letters impossibly sent from the past derail her future? Or will Constance discover her voice and risk everything for the chance to somehow connect with her true soul mate?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A feel-good novel about freeing ourselves from the past and finding our way to a bright and beautiful future.”—New York Times bestselling author Jill Santopolo

"The Book of Silver Linings is a novel that pulls at all the right heartstrings. While it hits all the mystery and romance sweet spots, it's also a love story about living authentically and the magic that comes from trusting your gut and heart."–Kate Spencer, author of In a New York Minute

"This feel good novel is about second chances, and feeling worthy enough to claim them. At once mystical realism and romance, this is a book with which to curl up with your favorite furry friend and prepare to fall in love."—New York Times bestselling author Karen White

Magical!

The Book of Silver Linings is a beautiful story of self discovery and love! The plot twists keep the tale compelling until the end.

Forced

I think over all I felt manipulated by the writing style. I felt like the writer was trying to force you into thinking her way about things from Dog's to Lifestyle. I did get some life lessons out of the story and related to multiple aspects, there were so many different themes it wasn't hard to see yourself in one of them. It was hard to get into and hard to finish. So many lies between the characters. I think I am naïve because I don't think people can live a genuine life with so many lies between them, especially the big ones.
