Absolutely delightful! What a wonderful love story about a bookshop of love stories! The best part about this entire story is Jaimie Admans' sense of place. From page one we are engrossed in the world and I did not want to leave. Five stars!

Had a smile on my face from start to finish.
When Hallie loses her latest job. She comes home to find an email from a guy called Robert. Who states she’s won a bookshop Called Once Upon A Page.
She can’t believe her luck, and thinks it must be a joke as nothing good ever happens to her.
When she goes to see Robert who tells her that she is the owner, but she can’t sell it on and must be passed over to someone who loves books. Oh and she’s the owner of the goldfish too.
Still not believing her luck, she wonders what she’s let herself in for.
The local property developer turns up and says he wants to buy the place from her.
One day Dimitri falls into her shop,(accident prone like Hallie) and informs her that Robert used to let him sit and draw in a corner.
Her mom’s still wanting her to meet someone and thinks the bookshop isn’t the right place.
Gradually Dimitri helps Hallie with finding her feet and how Robert used to do things. They start to sort the books into some sort of order, in the process find messages written in the front page, one of these from Della, Dimitri’s mother.
When Dimitri goes to dinner at Hallie’s moms her family really like him.
Hallie and Dimitri leave books around the village for others to find.
When Dimitri asks Hallie to dinner and she goes with him to the house where people have told her the StropWomble lives, she’s surprised when he tells her that it’s her father and all that happened with him.
They start a social media page informing people of their finds and plan to have an open day for those that have responded to their posts to attend.
Unfortunately the day doesn’t end on a happy note, she finds out who Dimitri actually is.
On finding another note inside a book, she goes to see Robert, who fills her in on why Dimitri came to the shop whilst he was there and did now she runs it.
On getting back to the shop, Drake is on the terrace and Dimitri makes a deal with him.
So enjoyed this book, had some of my favourite authors mentioned in it, favourite books and scenes.
Definitely recommend it.

Ooh what a lovely feel good read that I devoured in one afternoon. Hallie is a bit hopeless. She doesn't have a man and she can't keep a job. That is until the ideal opportunity literally falls in her lap. The owner of a bookshop. But what with developers pressing and bookish Dimitri, she doesn't quite know if she's coming or going.
For fans of Heidi Swain, Rebecca Raisin and Jane Linfoot. A book to cheer you up.
