Review: The Next Chapter Bookshop (Leafwood Falls Book 1) by Brooke Skie

 

 

A heartwarming cozy romance filled with warmth, community, and a touch of bookshop magic.

When Manhattan attorney Charlie Whitmore inherits her aunt’s century-old bookshop in the small town of Leafwood Falls, she plans to stay just long enough to settle the estate. The Oak & Ink Bookshop has always been beloved by locals for its uncanny habit of placing exactly the right story into a reader’s hands… but Charlie isn’t here for charm or magic. She’s here to get back to her high-powered life.

Except nothing in Leafwood Falls goes to plan.

There’s Hemingway, the opinionated orange cat with impeccable literary taste.
There’s the shop itself, with its creaky floors, shifting shelves, and quiet hints of something more.
And there’s the community, warm, welcoming, and far too easy to fall for.

As Charlie uncovers her aunt’s secrets and settles into the rhythm of small-town life, she finds herself drawn into a world she never expected… and to two very different men. Lawrence, a polished developer who represents the life she’s always known. And Ethan, the steady local contractor whose quiet reliability feels like home.

With her heart opening in ways she never planned, Charlie must choose between the future she built, and the one that’s quietly building itself around her.

 

My Review:

Charming and unforgettable. 

When Charlie inherits her aunts bookshop, she had no idea it would change her life. The store seems to know just what everyone needs, whether it’s a book or in Charlie’s case, helping guide her to a fuller happier future.  This book drew me in for the very start.  It is well written with a great plot and characters. I enjoyed seeing how the story played out and what would happen to Charlie and how she would save The Oak & Ink Bookshop.
