The Lost for Words Bookshop is a compelling, irresistible, and heart-rending audiobook from author Stephanie Butland

Loveday Cardew prefers books to people. If you look carefully, you might glimpse the first lines of the novels she loves most tattooed on her skin. But there are some things Loveday will never, ever show you.

Into her hiding place - the bookstore where she works - come a poet, a lover, and three suspicious deliveries.

Someone has found out about her mysterious past. Will Loveday survive her own heartbreaking secrets?

This concoction of story and performance took me far away from my everyday life and landed me in the mind of young Loveday, who slowly, compellingly shares her jagged past and, as she comes to a new understanding of her present, reveals how she plans to move forward.

Not my usual read—but I loved it!

it was a nice treat even though I was wondering at first where the author was going with this. i felt for Loveday and feel in love with Nathan. i just missed a little more excitement...

Nice story
