Ella has grown up at The Last Page, a charming local bookstore in New York City where she now works. Her first kiss was in the women’s health section. A boyfriend dumped her in comedy. The owner is like a second father to her and has begun training her to take over the store. So when he unexpectedly dies and his estranged grandson is left everything in the will, Ella is devastated.Henry doesn’t know the first thing about running a bookstore. With his aging mom back in Tennessee, he plans to stay in New York just long enough to ensure things are running smoothly and then head back home. What he never could have counted on was the beautiful, funny bookseller who loves The Last Page more than any place in the world—and who sees him as the villain who’s come to ruin her life.But when it becomes evident that the store is in deep financial trouble and Henry and Ella are both at risk of losing everything, they have no choice but to put their differences aside and team up—despite the inconvenient chemistry blossoming between them.
This reminded me of You've Got Mail in a good way! If you love books and ever wanted to read one involving saving a bookstore combined with enemies to lovers romance - this one is for you. I, too, didn't love Henry at first and then he really, really grew on me. By the end, I was shipping Ella and Henry so hard. Give this a try!
There was a certain magic that accompanied bookstores. They were a portal to a completely different world, where everyone around you cared about the same thing: books. Cocooned in the warm stacks were characters that you knew as intimately as family. Worlds you felt like you were standing in the middle of.I happened to believe there was an extra bit of magic at The Last Page.
