The holiday package comes with a temporary position at Much Ado About Books, the bookstore located beneath her rental apartment. In a burst of impulsivity, she plans a holiday in a quaint English village. Some time away to regain perspective might be just the thing. And when she’s passed over for promotion at work, Evie realizes she needs to make a change. Grab this book, a mug of tea, sit by a merry fire, and pretend that you, too, have a hot man friend in idyllic England.The cozy comforts of an English village bookstore open up a world of new possibilities for Evie Starling in this charming new romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young.Īt thirty-three-years old Evangeline Starling’s life in Chicago is missing that special something. Much Ado About You is the quintessential book for anyone looking for a story that just makes you feel cozy inside. Bottom line, Samantha Young, I need about three sequels to this book as soon as possible. This story is full of charm, whether it’s the banter between Evie and Roane, the dimensional side characters, or literally just the charming British setting. In each chapter, Evie grows along the way and while she’s found a partner, she finds herself just as much. “But you’re perfect to me.”Īnd while the romance is what makes you reach for the book, it’s Evie’s journey of self-discovery that makes you turn the page.

“You’re not perfect, Evie, rationally I know that.” He let out a long sigh. It’s an inevitability that they’ll get together, but somehow that only makes the journey to get there more exciting.

Evie and Roane start as friends but their connection is clear to any reader right from the start. Wrong. Samantha Young reminds all of us that when you find a hot man in a small-town, you jump on that. It’s in this tiny Northumberland village that she finds your typical small-town people with all the typical small-town gossip, and Roane Robson, who would be the perfect vacation fling…if she were looking for romance, that is. So it’s clearly time for a vacation, and Evie finds herself in a small English village and the chance at getting to run the local bookshop – any book lover’s paradise. We meet Evie Starling: she’s quit her job, had what seems like a thousand first dates that have gone wildly wrong, and feels like all her friends are running laps around her in life. Much Ado About You is a One Way Ticket to a Great Romance Much Ado About You by Samantha Young is the perfect escape from city life where everything seems to be going wrong. Are there direct flights from my couch to Northumberland? Because I need something to look forward to when that vaccine finally hits.
