Amy's husband, John, left her (and her two children) three years ago. Now he is back and Amy isn't sure how she feels. When he says he wants to repair his relationship with his children and insists she takes a week off, she signs up to be a presenter at a conference in New York City for librarians.This might not sound too exciting to the normal person but to Amy the chance to connect with other librarians and sit around and read all day is heaven. And when she connects with a Hot Male Librarian, it truly is heaven. But all things must come to an end, right?
Well, not necessarily. John wants to be with the children all summer and proposes that Amy takes the summer off and leave everything to him. Amy's college friend, Talia, is the editor of a fashion magazine in NYC and she proposes that the magazine cover Amy's summer off. And then, there's the Hot Male Librarian...
This book is a fun, breezy story but still has depth to it. Amy agonizes over her feelings for her not-quite-ex-husband, the time she is spending away from her children, her feelings for said Hot Male Librarian, and how she has spent her life. And while I enjoyed the subtle references to books, the average reader will (hopefully) come away with a better look at the struggles librarians face and the importance of literacy in our society.
