This book was sad but a romance and finding love again. I loved that it took place in a bookstore . I loved the friends and the romance that happened between them. I enjoyed that it didn't happen right away and that one of the characters didn't want them to get together. Family was a big thing in this book and I enjoyed reading the notes in the books from the different characters.

This is an amazing book about grief and how difficult grief is to deal with. It shows that people are never the same after something tragic, but that does not always have to mean something bad. This is a great lesson on growing up, making tough decisions, realizing what is important in life and how there can be regrets in life. Really beautiful story and I loved the premise of it all!

The best book I've read in a while. Not just for book lovers or word lovers...or ocean lovers. Any human will relate to this beautiful story! So evocative and just made me think of all the people I've known and loved and crossed paths with. Not in a super sad way, but in a way that appreciates the bigness of our world and of our histories. I didn't want it to end. And I *loved* the special letters in the book, especially a particular one!
