The Little Bookshop by the Sea by Eliza J. Scott

 




Synopsis:


Welcome to the Happy Hartes Bookshop in Micklewick Bay on the beautiful North Yorkshire Coast!

The Happy Hartes Bookshop has been a part of bookworm Florrie Appleton’s life as far back as she can remember. From the evocative smell of the books, to working alongside her beloved Mr H and his black Labrador, Gerty, there’s no wonder she calls it her happy place.

Living in a town she loves, with her family and group of close-knit friends around her, life is sweet. Until one dreadful Monday morning, when everything is turned upside down and things are changed forever.

Devastated, Florrie finds herself thrown into an unexpected situation with handsome stranger, Ed Harte, owner of a pair of twinkly navy-blue eyes and a smile that has the knack of making mischief with her insides.

Despite herself, Florrie quickly finds herself falling for him, but she’s torn, reluctant to give her heart to someone who seems intent on not sticking around.

While her heart’s doing battle with her head, Florrie soon finds herself privy to a secret with Ed involving a heart-wrenching twist they could never have imagined.

Will love find a way to bring them together, or are they destined to go their separate ways?


Review:



The Little Bookshop by the Sea was a lovely and very enjoyable read, I smiled a lot but I also shed some tears. 
It's set in Micklewick Bay, with its evocative coastal landscape, its picturesque cottages, and a diverse group of residents.

We follow Florrie Appleton journey from Happy Hartes Bookshop employee to part owner of the shop. 
I've empatized with her, I could feel her devastation and her fear of the unpredictable future, and in the end I was so proud of her for becoming even stronger. 

Eliza J Scott writing is certainty, it's a pleasure to read it and to visit Yorkshire through her stories.

I highly recommend to read this story, the bookshop seems a paradise for bookworms, I was so curious to go in to see all the books on the shelves.

She’s had a rough year with a bad break-up and a terrible loss. But Charlotte isn’t going to let that dampen her spirits. She’s determined to have fun, finish the things she starts, and avoid falling for another guy – especially her best friend’s grumpy, gorgeous older brother.
