For a gardener blessed with a green thumb, Savannah Collins’s life sure seems like it’s all thorns and zero roses. She has no job, no relationship, and no place to live. With nothing but a car full of plants and her new rescue kitten, Savannah heads to Bloom, North Carolina, to spend the summer with her beloved Aunt Eleanor, a retired librarian.
Her aunt shares her love of literature with the Finders Keepers Library, located in her beautiful garden, where anyone can stop by to take or leave a book. When a sudden summer storm destroys the library and many of the roses, it will take a village to get everything ready for the garden wedding taking place in just three weeks.
As the entire town joins in to make the necessary repairs, Savannah bonds with their neighbor Evan Sanders over the books that Eleanor has specially handpicked for each of them. Savannah only intends to stay through the summer, but when an unexpected job offer, a sudden health crisis, and a wayward pre-teen push her future in new directions, she has to wonder whether this is the place that she is meant to be—and the family she’s meant to be with.

In Rains' newest romance, two childhood friends reconnect and rekindle their feelings while working to restore the town's beloved Finders Keepers Library. Recently dumped by her fianc� because of her lupus diagnosis, gardener Savannah Collins retreats to Bloom, North Carolina, to visit her retired Aunt Eleanor. A summer storm reunites her with her old friend Evan Saunders, now a single dad and just as dreamy as she remembered. While working together to restore Aunt Eleanor's garden and library, the couple discover that their feelings never really went away. But can Savannah learn how to accept love and care, or is this a love story that only belongs in novels? Rotating perspectives among Savannah, Evan, and Eleanor, Rains depicts romance as something that is not only for the young. Characters in this novel get a second chance at both life and a satisfying love story regardless, which feels rare in a genre dominated by young protagonists. Rains' novel also oozes with small-town charm, making it a satisfying read for anyone who has ever enjoyed a Hallmark movie.COPYRIGHT(2024) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
