A Wedding at the Little Bookshop by the Sea

Booksellers Florrie Appleton and her fiancé, Ed, are just three weeks away from their dream wedding. Between hand-selling beloved classics, unveiling Ed's enchanting window displays and hosting lively book readings with local authors, they've managed to plan an intimate ceremony that promises to be everything they've ever hoped for - filled with literary delights, lots of laughter and the love of those closest to them. But when Ed's mother, Dawn, arrives unannounced on their doorstep, Florrie's world is thrown into chaos like confetti. Dawn claims she's come to help with the wedding preparations, yet she's never shown the slightest interest in her son before. As she starts dismissing their carefully curated shelves and snooping around their cosy cottage, Florrie can't shake the feeling that Dawn's plans stretch far beyond simply choosing flowers and cake. With her close-knit group of friends rallying around her and the bookshop's loyal customers offering support, can Florrie protect her relationship and the bookshop that means everything to her and Ed? Or will their happily ever after slip through their fingers like pages torn from one of her treasured books? An uplifting, emotional feel-good read, perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Jenny Colgan and Phillipa Ashley.
