A novel about the magical lure of books and summoning the courage to rewrite our stories by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings and The Last of the Moon Girls.
Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners―an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.
With no trace of how these mysterious books came into the world, Ashlyn is caught up in a decades-old literary mystery, beckoned by two hearts in ruins, whoever they were, wherever they are. Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers’ tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals. The more Ashlyn learns about Hemi and Belle, the nearer she comes to bringing closure to their love story―and to the unfinished chapters of her own life.

一开始，我疑惑Ashlyn为何会和四十年前的事产生联系，后来我又一度提Marian感到不值得，生气她心软的放弃自己的底线和一切还是选择去和Hemi在一起，尽管Hemi伤害了她。最后，我替Marian和Hemi感到开心。我总是觉得他们的事情只是一段fling，并不会让他们记得一辈子。但是，最后我感动于他们对彼此的坚持。人无完人，谁又能保证自己在爱的人面前永远不会说出一些言不由衷的话。虽然曾经有过mi... 一开始，我疑惑Ashlyn为何会和四十年前的事产生联系，后来我又一度提Marian感到不值得，生气她心软的放弃自己的底线和一切还是选择去和Hemi在一起，尽管Hemi伤害了她。最后，我替Marian和Hemi感到开心。我总是觉得他们的事情只是一段fling，并不会让他们记得一辈子。但是，最后我感动于他们对彼此的坚持。人无完人，谁又能保证自己在爱的人面前永远不会说出一些言不由衷的话。虽然曾经有过miscommunication，但是压抑的感情戏下涌动的是更深的爱意。谢谢他们都为彼此踏出了更勇敢的一步。虽然这是一部关于爱情的小说，但是Marian并不是依靠男生过一辈子的女性，她勇敢的抚养着两个孩子，过着自己喜欢的生活，追求自己的理想。爱情不是她的全部，但是会让她更加快乐。 (展开)
