Resumen del Editor

A heartwarming literary-themed novel about a woman who turns an ordinary red phone box into the littlest library in England and brings together a struggling town.

A little red telephone box full of stories, a chance to change her life...

Jess Metcalf is perfectly content with her quiet, predictable life. But when her beloved grandmother passes away and she loses her job at the local library, Jess’ life is turned upside down.

Determined to pick up the pieces, Jess decides it’s time for a new beginning. Unable to part with her grandmother’s cherished books, she packs them all up and moves to a tiny cottage in the English countryside. To her surprise, Jess discovers that she’s now the owner of an old red phone box that was left on the property. Missing her job at the local library, Jess decides to give back to her new community—using her grandmother’s collection to turn the ordinary phone box into the littlest library in England.

It’s not long before the books are borrowed and begin to work their literary magic—bringing the villagers together... and managing to draw Jess’ grumpy but handsome neighbor out of his shell.

Maybe it’s finally time for Jess to follow her heart, let go of her old life, and make the village her home? But will she be able to take the leap?

Littlest Library

I loved this book, and I hope for more books about this town & all the great characters, esp. the main characters.

The Littlest Library

What a wonderful story. I so enjoyed listening to the narrator make the characters come to life. At one point I couldn’t stop listening. I need to know what would happen in the next chapter. Bravo!

Cute Story

Books make a difference in anyone's life. This story is a testimony to that. Enjoy.

Delightful story

Interesting characters and plot. Great narrator.
Was sorry when I reached the end. In a word, charming!

Sweet

This is a love story. It’s the love of community and friends and books and family. It was such a sweet story and made me laugh and cry and cheer for the characters. You fall in love with each character and their quirks. So much fun and a sweet story of community coming together.

such a delightful book

i am hoping for more books about the wonderful characters in this cute village

Ok.

This book had a lot of potential. Great characters but drawn out too long and the ending was underwhelming. Unnecessary politics inserted.

Super cute

Light, wholesome, sweet, family and town story. Todays version of little house on the prairie with a British accent. I really enjoyed it

Discovering happiness for self & others works

I found myself listening non-stop throughput the book (with breaks for work and sleep). I really enjoyed the main character’s journey of growth - takes chances and finding what makes her truly happy. The descriptions of her life’s challenges, her surroundings, friendships, and her efforts for others was very touching and relatable. The love story was very grounded and sweet.
I hope there are more stories about the characters in the book. Loved it!

An entertaining read.

A cute story. Jess Metcalf brought magic and happiness to those around her. However, it made you wonder why she found it so difficult to create a wave of happiness and magic around herself.

A fun read. However, it seems her character stagnates more than moving on. The ending seemed rushed. It was like nothing has been really happening, gaining momentum within the story...then all of a sudden, oh no, the book is ending, we must rush to a finish and throw things at the listener/reader. It's now or never!

This book screams for a sequel---but I hope it doesn't happen if it creeps at the same snail's pace re developing the main character, Jess Metcalf, of The Littlest Library. I hope this review helps.
