A London bookstore owner plays matchmaker to her customers in the latest from Clare Pooley, the beloved bestselling author who knows exactly what people want to read right now

Jude spends her days running The First Chapter Bookshop with her loyal hound, Heathcliff, at her side. The finances of owning a bookshop are challenging, but Jude knowsthat only the best people visit stores like hers, and that makes even the difficult days worthwhile.

Jude also believes that you can tell a lot about someone by the books they choose to read. So she curates a display of Books of Possibility, to match up customers who choose the same title—and, she hopes, to offer them the social connection they’re craving. Before long, her books have brought friends and lovers together, healed wounds, and inspired new adventures.

But good taste in books isn’t everything, and Jude soon finds that creating a community may require her to open up about things she’d rather keep hidden. Because Jude’s customers are not always what they seem, and neither is Jude herself.
