I enjoyed The Library of Borrowed Hearts by Tamara Berry writing as Lucy Gilmore. Readers who love bookish love stories need this in their lives. This book is full of the library love evident in The Lonely Hearts Book Club, the author's first women's fiction novel. This plot centers around correspondence written years ago in the margins of classic books shelved in a public library. There's also a deeper story involving a family of siblings.
At times Chloe's relentless prying into the correspondence between two young lovers seemed like a big invasion of privacy, but since the notes were written in public library books, the couple shouldn't expect secrecy. I enjoyed this cast of characters, and really appreciated the ending. And the beautiful bookish cover would be a lovely addition to any bookshelf.
The audiobook is narrated by four individuals: Leanne Woodward, Aven Shore, Joe Jameson, and Bob Ball, which was surprising since the first half was voiced by a single person.
