I recommend The Littlest Library to anyone who enjoys Womens fiction, I received a complimentary copy of this book, The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own, What a lovely surprise this little novel turned out to be! Warm escapist fiction with enough literary references to satisfy anyone who appreciates the written word, Those who follow my blog will know that romance is not my usual genre of choice, but I found this book ticked all the boxes for me just now.
It made me escape into the charming Devon village of Middlemass for a time,

Though as with most romance fiction, I knew from the onset that things would end on a positive note, the journey was an enjoyable one with characters that were easily imagined and extremely sympathetic.
Jess Metcalfe was a woman whom I would like to meet, so living her life for a few hours was indeed a pleasure, Her charming picturepostcard cottage, her new friends, her handsome neighbour Aidan, and even her two kittens made for a welcome escapist read, The author even references one of my childhood favourite books "Tom's Midnight Garden" and my favourite classic "Jane Eyre",

This romance novel contains themes of starting over, overcoming insecurities, forging friendships, community spirit, and of course the healing power of books,

Highly recommended to those readers who want to get away from real life for awhile, especially those who are ardent book lovers, Let me tell you this book was so cute!! The Littlest Library by Poppy Alexander did NOT leave me dry eyed!! The cover was absolutely adorable!! After reading this book, I wanted to travel to England and find this cute telephone library box.
At the beginning it was a little bit of a slow burn, but as the story went on it was just amazing!! I was hooked from the very first page, and it does NOT disappoint.
As Jess was telling the story of her grandmother, Mimi I had tears running down my face, Let me just say there's nothing better than reading a book that makes you sob and have your tears spilling onto the page, I thought this book would be a light, fluffy read, but boy was I wrong, this story tugged on my heart strings so much!!!
This was one heck of a roller coaster ride!!!

"A little red telephone box full of stories, a chance to change her life.
".

In The Littlest Library we follow the journey of Jess Metcalf, Jess is perfectly content with her quiet, predictable life, But when her grandmother, Mimi passes away, and Jess loses her job at the local library in BourtonontheMarsh, Jess's life is turned completely upside down, Jess is grieving the loss of Mimi but she's determined to pick up the pieces and make her life better, Jess decides it's time for a new beginning, One day Jess is taking a road trip when her car stalls and she leaves it in the middle of the road, Jess notices a little bit across the street there's a house for sale.
Jess decides to sell her house in Bourton and move to Ivy Cottage in Middlemass, When Jess was very young she lost both of her parents due to a car accident, that's when Mimi decided to take Jess

under her wings,

Unable to part with her grandmother's cherished books, Jess packs them all up and moves to Ivy Cottage in the English Countryside, To Jess's surprise, she discovers that she's now the owner of an old red phone box that was left on the property of Ivy Cottage, Jess learns that the cottage she now owns was her neighbor's grandfather's cottage, When Jess's car stalls, that's when she meets her grumpy neighbor, Aidan, Missing her job at the local library, Jess decides to give back to her new community, using her grandmother's collection to turn the ordinary phone box into the littlest library in England.
As the littlest library starts to earn attention, Jess starts making new friends that she's come to love,

It's not long before the books are being borrowed and begin to work their literary magic bringing the villagers together and managing to draw Jess's grumpy but handsome neighbor out of his shell.
Jess learns that Aidan is going through a divorce with his exwife, his exwife wants custody of their daughter Maisie, who Jess has also formed a bond with.
Maybe it's finally time for Jess to follow her heart, let go of her old life, and make the village her home, With Jess's savings account running out of money she knows it's time to find a job, but Middlemass has no job offerings available, or nothing that Jess wants to do.
I highly recommend this book, but have a box of tissues close by because it does get emotional, The telephone box library was just so cute and makes me want to start my own! Who knows maybe I will!

But will Jess be able to take the leap and call the village her home.
