Friends You Haven't Met Yet

When you're lonely, a good book can feel like a friend. But what if it could connect you with someone in real life?

When bookshop owner Jude sees how a love of the same book can bring people together, she
starts using her shop to help people connect. Soon, her book-matchmaking is changing the
lives of everyone around her, from young Harper trying to find love, to the elderly ladies who frequent the café.

Before long, perhaps Jude’s own life will be changed in unexpected ways too.

Because the right story might lead you to the right person...
