Review: The Bookshop of Second Chances by Jackie Fraser



Blurb from Goodreads:
Thea’s having a bad month. Not only has she been made redundant, she’s also discovered her husband of nearly twenty years is sleeping with one of her friends. And he’s not sorry – he’s leaving.
 
Bewildered and lost, Thea doesn’t know what to do. But, when she learns the great-uncle she barely knew has died and left her his huge collection of second-hand books and a house in the Scottish Lowlands, she seems to have been offered a second chance.
 
Running away to a little town where no one knows her seems like exactly what Thea needs. But when she meets the aristocratic Maltravers brothers – grumpy bookshop owner Edward and his estranged brother Charles, Lord Hollinshaw – her new life quickly becomes just as complicated as the life she was running from...
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book -- such a feel good book in a delightful Scottish setting!  I immediately connected to Thea and adored reading about her new life working in a bookshop in a small Scottish town. I will say this was a bit longer than most other books in this genre but it wasn't wasted on me.  If you are looking for a book to make you feel good with some romance, reinvention and 💓, this is the book for you!!

The Bookshop of Second Chances comes out next week on May 4, 2021, you can purchase HERE!  I really loved this one and definitely recommend it!
Yesterday was Valentine's Day. Three weeks since I lost my job--made redundant and turned out of my office with no notice--and ten days since my husband Chris, henceforth known as "that bastard," left me.

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton
