Review - The Littlest Library by Poppy Alexander
I received a free advanced copy through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
I love little libraries. They’re tiny and charming and I wish I had one of my own! That is what inspired this read of The Littlest Library by Poppy Alexander. I couldn’t resist the premise of a library inside an old red phone box.
I got everything I expected out of this book: an idyllic setting, quirky characters, and a reflection of my love of books…even a little romance. It was just what I needed when I went in search of a quick read.
The story follows Jess, a single woman who has recently lost her grandmother. She needs a change and—rather impulsively—makes one. She buys a cottage in a small village and gets an old telephone box thrown into the bargain. The box belongs to the village, though it’s on Jess’s new property, so she is left to find a good use for it that will help the community.
As Jess gets settled in her new home in the village, and as she establishes her own little library in the phone box, it is the books that help bring the community together. And, of course, it is the books that help Jess find a solution to some of her own problems as well.
The Littlest Library is a light and fun story. Its release date is right around the corner on July 19!
