A charming romcom about finding your own path and never being scared to break the rules Freya Sampson, author of The Last Library
Maggie Banks loves books. And running a bookstore sounds like the best job in the world. Except in Bell River, a place that refuses to let her sell anything written this century.
But in Maggie's world, book rules are made to be broken.
And what better way to break tradition than by starting an underground book club. But keeping her new club quiet, selling forbidden books and dodging the strict literary society is proving harder than it seems. Especially when Maggie unearths a secret that could upend everything
