![]() ![]() On day one she meets Roane Robson, “the most beautiful man ever seen”. (There is a bookstore in Scotland that actually does this and it sounds like a dream vacation to me, too!) She chooses Alnster because she sees an ad for Much Ado About Books, a cozy bookshop with a flat above where you stay while you run the bookstore. She’s had it with Chicago and decides to shake up her life by taking an extended holiday in Alnster, Northumberland. First, the guy she’d been SnapChatting with for months ghosts her, and then she’s passed over – again – for a promotion at the magazine where she works. Thirty-three-year-old Evie Starling has just had her heart broken: twice. A much younger colleague at school told me about Much Ado About You by Samantha Young and I liked the sound of it because the protagonist is bookish and the story takes place in Northern England. I guess I want the characters to have some baggage, too. I am a romantic at heart, but I am also a divorced 61-year-old and I come to these stories with a lot of baggage. Straight-up romance is not normally my go-to genre, mostly because I find it difficult to relate to the 25-35 year-old hotties who normally populate said stories. ![]()
