From the author of Meet Me at Pebble Beach comes a story of unlikely friendship and the power of community. 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.
Bella Osborne has been jotting down stories as far back as she can remember but decided that 2013 would be the year that she finished a full length novel. In 2016, her debut novel, It Started At Sunset Cottage, was shortlisted for the Contemporary Romantic Novel of the Year and RNA Joan Hessayon New Writers Award. Bella's stories are about friendship, love and coping with what life throws at you. She likes to find the humour in the darker moments of life and weaves these into her stories. Bella believes that writing your own story really is the best fun ever, closely followed by talking, eating chocolate, drinking fizz and planning holidays. She lives in the Midlands, UK with her lovely husband and wonderful daughter, who thankfully, both accept her as she is (with mad morning hair and a penchant for skipping).

Ist there a genre like cozy family drama? Imho that's a description this book would fit into. There's Tom, a self-conscious teenager who prefers to go through life unnoticed. After his mother died, his father got in the habit of drinking and there's not much left of the happy family they used to be. Then meet Maggie: a sturdy old widow who lives on a farm, does yoga and martial arts and seems unafraid of anything. When by coincidence Tom and Maggie meet at the library, an unusual friendship starts to blossom, and soon Maggie takes Tom under her wing. Tom starts opening up and becoming the boy he could have been all along. When the local library is threatened by closure, Tom and Maggie start a campaign to save one of their favorite places.
While there were a lot of dramatic issues touched in this story, it never lost its cozy charm which made it a comfortable, at times even funny book to read. While some coincidences felt overly convenient, the plot developed easily and the characters appeared well-drawn, though I got the impression that Tom sometimes behaved much too grown-up for the teenager he still was. Overall, I very much enjoyed reading this book which revealed itself to be much more substantial than I first expected.
