Long ago, a bookshop was born – the beating heart of all those who find hope within the pages of a book. With the words penned upon the echo of old forests, new worlds are created.

It’s ready and waiting to welcome all those who know where to find it…

Strangers Jo, Adelaide and Kye are the least likely people to find themselves across the threshold of a bookshop.

But as their midnight book club shows them that a single book can change everything, all three realise that their own stories can be rewritten.

super mid

not really much substance with this book.. everything was predictable and all the dialogue felt sooo generic. The narrator was cool tho, i liked her voice.

I didn't expect this 😁

I read this because the women in my book group picked it. I didn't think I was going to like it but after a chapter and a half I was sucked right into it and finished it in 3 days. it was absolutely fantastical. it was incredibly imaginative and heartwarming. it brought out all of my emotions.

Refreshing

The beginning requires focus or you'll have to restart (similar to me). In all this book found a great way to tell age old stories while nodding to classics. Tying how nothing is new and that the bike we read can help us in our everyday lives, without it being the common self-help book. I'd reread!

Absolutely a great listen

I absolutely loved this book. Magical and inspiring. Each character's stories were moving. And I loved the reader, fantastic accent

Amazing narrator! And engaging storyline

Wonderful character development that just sucks you in and you become so engrossed in the story. The narrator was ethe most exceptional I have encountered so far!
