This was a fascinating read: a dual timeline, book-within-a-book that explores love, betrayal, and the power of forgiveness and letting go. Many life lessons told in this well written story. Set in the 1980s, a young bookseller comes across two anonymous books that narrate the same events from different viewpoints. In tracking down who these authors were, she also learns a lot about herself. I‘m becoming a big fan of this author. 4 ⭐️

Dual timelines. Ashlyn restores old books. She can also pick up feelings of other people from inanimate objects. She finds two unpublished books that seem to tell a doomed love story from the POV of the two people involved.
Liked the past love story more than the contemporary story about Ashlyn.
Ashlyn discovers two unpublished books that seem to tell the same doomed love story but from vastly different viewpoints. Her psychometric abilities tell her there is more to these two lovers' stories than what is written. She embarks on a quest to figure out the truth. This gets 2.5- 3 🌟 from me. I enjoyed one timeline over the other. Also, there was no chemistry between Ashlyn and her love interest.
I have so many unread books on my Kindle , and plenty in my bookshelf, that it‘s hard to choose what to read next. I am in awe of Littens who plan their reading. I just follow my whimsy, and it‘s leading me to this. I‘ve loved the other books by this author that I‘ve read, so I‘m looking forward to it.
Oh my, how I loved this story! First off, a bookstore owner who can sense emotions and feelings by touching previously owned books? Yes please! Add in secrets, lies, and romance from the past and a mystery to be solved and I‘m all in. I listened to the audiobook and can highly recommend it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
