"Brimming with magic . . . Full of allegory and mysticism, the book often feels more like a poem than a novel. . . . nuanced and enchanting . . . an elegantly crafted, unhurried examination of the enthralling and elusive nature of love."--Kirkus Reviews

"An appealing companion piece to The Little Paris Bookshop . . . George convincingly portrays her characters' emotions. . . . Charming."--Publishers Weekly

"This spin-off of George's beloved The Little Paris Bookshop--this is the book within that one--is narrated by omniscient and powerful representations of abstract concepts, with Love, Pride, and Fate all weighing in, and this creative framing adds to its considerable charm. George pays particular attention to the romantic potential of the everyday--those mundane events that can spark new feelings in anyone hoping for a chance at love. Fans . . . will adore George's latest exploration of life, love, and destiny."--Booklist
