![]() ![]() The two of them together are in turns hilarious and heartbreaking. ![]() Maggie is lonely after her husband’s death 10 years earlier, and Tom brings back memories of her son. His father is an alcoholic who is only focused on Tom going to work at the local dog food plant and doesn’t know why his son has dreams of anything else. I honestly don’t have anything to say except Tom and Maggie were lovely. And Tom finds himself looking forward to the books being offered and the friendship. Maggie finds herself looking forward to the weekly visits of Tom to the library. When he gets there though, he ends up lying about his past and is offered romance novels to read by the local librarian and an elderly woman named Maggie who goes to the book club there. When Tom goes to the village library, he wants to just go someplace where he can study and hide from his father. I really didn’t want to put this one down when I got to the end. I loved the characters of Tom and Maggie. Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. ![]()
