was going into this expecting a contemporary romance and instead I got so much more from THE LENDING LIBRARY!

The premise:
Small town library closes so art teacher and bibliophile Dodie opens a lending library in her sunroom. It is a huge hit the town loves it, including a new guy. Dodie has a lot of stress and anxiety around having kids. She wants one now since her family struggles with infertility but without a guy… kinda hard. Her best friend was a great role model who adopted an adorable little one nicknamed Boo on her own. When tragedy strikes Dodie wants to help in the biggest way but needs to make some tough choices.

This book was sad y’all. It had some happier chapters but overall there is so much loss and hardship and some tough truths confronted. It was pretty good though. There was a lot going on from adoption, infertility, relationship struggles, the sunroom library, a student of hers that needs some extra love.. it’s a lot for one plot. It makes the book interesting but it also makes it hard to explain for you guys!

Go read the summary on Goodreads honestly! Then come back for my opinion which is its good, but not the best I’ve ever read. It was like a coming of age story for an adult if that makes sense?

My six word review:
Jam packed plot of growing up
