With Love from London

With Love From London is a women's fiction with dual timeline and I loved it so much! It was a beautiful, inspirational, emotional, heartwarming story of a woman and her mom and about following your heart. Filled with charm, cozy feels, a ton of love of books, and a little bit of mystery, this is a book I won't soon forget.

This was ultimately a story of family, loss, love and change. I found it inspirational, especially how it focused on second chances in life, that it's not always too late to go after what you want, but to also listen to your heart when you find someone or something meaningful.

Be aware that the story is not all happy. There's actually some pretty heartbreaking things that happen to the characters, some missed opportunities, unfortunate decisions, bad timings. But the overall note is still hopeful, I didn't come out of the book with a broken heart, if anything by the end, I felt my heart was mended, and I was filled with warm feelings.

There was so much book love in this book, it was impossible not to appreciate it as a book lover. Such great messages about how books can be healing and how they can bring people together. And the MC is a bookstagrammer! I especially loved that the main character and her mom use books to find their way to one another. And almost every relationship in the book has some literary tie.

I liked so many of the characters in this book. The two main characters are great, flawed and three dimensional, but so are all the side characters in Primrose Hill. Their best friends, their love interests, all a little quirky, but all unique and people I'd love to be friends with!

My only nitpick of this book was the tiny plotline towards to beginning of the book, where a woman sells her husband's rare books, behind his back! The fact that we don't see her get her comeuppance is truly a travesty! I really hope he divorced her.
