The Book of Second Chances
The Book of Second Chances | Katherine Slee
5 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
A charming, uplifting novel about love, loss, and finding your way in the world, perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and The Keeper of Lost Things. Emily can't remember the last time she left the house. Or spoke to anyone besides her grandmother, beloved children's author Catriona Robinson. After Catriona's death, Emily is at a complete loss...until she gets an expected letter from the woman she loved most. Catriona has revealed there might be one last, lost unpublished manuscript in her wildly popular book series. And she's left a secret diary and trail of clues that only Emily can follow. From London to Paris to Verona, Emily traces her grandmother's past, finding out more about her family -- and herself -- than she ever imagined possible. Katherine Slee's debut celebrates books and bookstores, the power of imagination, and having the courage to shape our own destinies.

I read this July 23 to Aug 1, and rated it 3.5 ⭐️. It is a rather light book considering it‘s subject and the ending is way too rushed but I did like this story. I did find myself enjoying the parts that were about Catriona more than the parts that were solely about Emily.

The Book of Second Chances has many reoccurring themes,one of which is not to judge a book by its cover.It also tells of the Importance of following your dreams.
I love that each chapter started out with a picture of a bird, and that bird‘s story was built in to the tale. This was one of my favorite aspects of this book.Honestly, this book is just magical. It takes you to different countries and magical worlds.Thank you Good Reads for the ARC.

You shouldn‘t care about what other people think, because at the end of it all there‘s no one to answer to for your decisions, other than yourself.
