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 find connection. Soon, her book-matchmaking has changed the lives of everyone around her, from young Harper trying to find love to the elderly ladies who frequent her cafe.

And before long, perhaps Jude's own life will be changed in unexpected ways, too...
