We first met Emily in the book Summer Reading as a librarian. She’s ready for some adventure and this adventure takes her all the way to Ireland. Oh, how I adore the setting in this book! She moves to Ireland, gets a job in a bookstore and starts working for her favorite author, Siobhan Riordan. There’s truly a special relationship between a young child and their favorite book series. Emily’s love and attachment to Siobhan’s series got her through a difficult childhood. Siobhan’s series is beloved by all but she’s had writer’s block for the last ten years and needs Emily’s help.

Kieran, Siobhan’s son is protective of his mother and nervous and the newcomer, but it’s not long before him and Emily start to bond. I loved the two of them and the way they recite book quotes to each other is seriously adorable. I love the writing in this book but be prepared to cry.
