The Fully Booked Bookshop Café invites
literature lovers to run their very own bookshop … for a fortnight.
Spend your days talking books with customers in your own charming
bookshop and serving up delicious cream teas in the cosy café.
Bookworms, what are you waiting for? Your holiday is going to be
LIT(erary).
Apply to: The Fully Booked Bookshop, Down-a-long, Clove Lore,
Devon.
Jude Crawley should
be on top of the world. She’s just graduated as a mature student, so can finally
go public about her relationship with Philosophy professor, Mack.
Until she sees Mack kissing another girl, and her dreams crumble.
And worse, their dream holiday – running a tiny bookshop in the harbour village
of Clove Lore for two
weeks – is non-refundable.
Throwing caution to the winds, Jude heads down to Devon, eager to
immerse herself in literature and heal her broken heart.
But there’s one problem – six foot tall, brooding (but
gorgeous) Elliot, who’s
also reserved the bookshop holiday for two weeks…
As Jude and Elliot put their differences aside to run the
bookshop, it seems that Jude might be falling in love with more than just
words. Until she discovers what Elliot is running from – and why he’s hiding
out in Clove Lore.
Can Jude find her own happy ending in a tiny, tumbledown bookshop?
Or is she about to find out that her bookish holiday might have an unexpected
twist in the tale…
This is just every reader and book lovers dream – the chance
at running a bookshop complete with sweet treats! Where can I sign up? I would
absolutely love it. My mind was running wild before I even turned the first
page.
Jude is a great character – I really was on her side from
the start and just hoped she had the best time in Devon and in the bookshop.
She’s in need for some direction in life and thinks some time away following a
dream might help, even if she’s doing it alone.
Arriving in Clove Lore, Devon, is quite an experience and
full of interesting characters and locals. She soon finds that her alone time
isn’t quite as she imagined. Elliot crashes into Jude’s life and although he is
clearly hiding something, he balances her out and helps her in ways she doesn’t
realise at first. They may have a rocky start but the chemistry is there from
the moment they meet.
I enjoyed the story and seeing both characters work through
their issues. I enjoyed the locals and would love a return trip to hear more of
their exploits, plus see what other magic the bookshop could weave.
Nicely written with some fun, lighted moments as well as
more heartwarming scenes too. A pleasurable way to spend a few hours.
