YA
After high school and her brother's death, bereaved Rachel returns to the Australian town where she and her brother grew up. A job at former crush Henry's failing family bookshop reunites Rachel with friends, but she worries about the store closing. In alternating chapters punctuated by letters and marginalia from used books, Henry and Rachel circle each other until finally coming together. A smart, sweet, literary romance.
