•Sam is finally feeling settled in her life with her new and dearly beloved “family.” As the school librarian, Sam finds joy in helping children discover the love of books. Life is going well. That is, until a tragedy changes everything for Sam and everyone that works at the school. Enter Duncan Carpenter. Sam never thought she would hear that name again. But here he is, hired as the new principal. And chaos ensues. 📚 🏫💘

•This was such a hilarious book full of entirely lovable characters! I knew that I would like it since @katherinecenter wrote it, but I wasn’t prepared for all the laugh-out-loud moments and deeply moving navigations through grief, sorrow, and love. This is an amazing read, and I recommend it to EVERYONE!
