There’s also a lot of loving descriptions of food, and quite a few animals (Maggie lives on a farm). There’s a lot of mentions of specific books in here, as part of Tom’s journey is to learn to love reading (and he reads all over the place, starting with a ton of romance novels). Maggie doesn’t have a family at all, it seems she once had a son. Tom’s mother is dead, and his dad is emotionally unavailable, in addition to money troubles. They sort of adopt each other as pseudo-family. Through a series of charmingly contrived circumstances, sixteen-year old Tom and seventy-two year old Maggie become friends through the library, and the book follows both of them in how the relationship slowly changes them. Especially since I have forgotten all the characters’ names and just had to look them all up.
A bit misleading of a title-it’s less about the library than you’d think-but nice.Īs with many three-and-a-half-star books for me that are just good reads-nothing out of the ordinary or particularly noteworthy, but nothing worth criticizing either-it’s pretty hard to drum up a review.
Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.This was a nice read. In order to save their local library a sixteen-year-old boy and seventy-two-year-old woman defy sterotypes and rally together to fight for a common cause. But when the library comes under threat of closure, it's up to Tom and Maggie to rally the community and save the library! Will these two unlikely friends be able to bring everyone together and save their library? From the author of Meet Me at Pebble Beach comes a story of unlikely friendship and the power of community. As Maggie helps Tom navigate the best way to ask out Farrah, Tom helps Maggie realize the mistakes of her past won't define her future. When Tom comes to her rescue after a library meeting, never did she imagine a friendship that could change her life. Maggie has been happily alone for ten years, at least this is what she tells herself.
So Tom quickly decides the best way to learn about women is to delve into romance novels, and he finds himself at the village library where he befriends 72-year-old Maggie. Farah makes Tom want to stand up and be seen - at least by her. He happily blends into the background of life. An unlikely friendship forms between a sixteen-year-old boy and a seventy-two-year-old woman as they rally the community to save their local library.
