The author sometimes relies too much on tropes.but this doesn't detract from the feel-good narrative.A lovely tale for bookish readers that will give them all the feels." - Kirkus Reviews "The friendship between Darcy and Marisol is well balanced and charming, and the happy ending is swoony-but not overly so. But securing her own happily-ever-after will mean she'll need to stop hiding and start living her own truth-even if it's messy. Still, after spending her whole life keeping people out, something about Asher makes Darcy want to open up. Fairy tales are one thing, but real love makes her want to hide inside her carefully constructed ink-and-paper bomb shelter. For the first time in her life, Darcy can't seem to find the right words. While Darcy is struggling to survive beneath the weight of her mother's compulsive shopping, Asher Fleet, a former teen pilot with an unexpectedly shattered future, walks into the bookstore where she works…and straight into her heart. But when a new property manager becomes more active in the upkeep of their apartment complex, the only home Darcy has ever known outside of her books suddenly hangs in the balance. There, she can avoid the crushing reality of her mother's hoarding and pretend her life is simply ordinary. From the moment she first learned to read, literary genius Darcy Wells has spent most of her time living in the worlds of her books.
