"Previously published in the UK under the title, The Little Shop of Happy-Ever-After, by Little, Brown Book Group in 2016"--Title page verso.
Nina Redmond is a literary matchmaker. Pairing a reader with that perfect book is her passion... and also her job. Or at least it was. Until yesterday, she was a librarian in the hectic city. But now the job she loved is no more. Determined to make a new life for herself, Nina moves to a sleepy village many miles away. There she buys a van and transforms it into a bookmobile--a mobile bookshop that she drives from neighborhood to neighborhood, changing one life after another with the power of storytelling. From helping her grumpy landlord deliver a lamb, to sharing picnics with a charming train conductor who serenades her with poetry, Nina discovers there's plenty of adventure, magic, and soul in a place that's beginning to feel like home... a place where she just might be able to write her own happy ending.

Great Scottish travel fiction submitted by A2AE on June 29, 2021, 6:33am This made me want to visit Scotland *and* open my own tiny book store Up North. Super charming descriptions of both. The only negative was that the main character could be a bit negative and unlikable at times, but it’s completely forgivable given how fun the rest of the book is.
