`I laughed, I cried, and I searched my soul for my own last pages' Reader review ★★★★★ -------------------------- Sometimes the last page is just the beginning. At fifty-four, Erin McRae feels like she's living in the margins of her own story. Her son is preparing to fly the nest, and the rent increase on the caf� she loves to run means she's going to have to close up shop. Her greatest escape is the mismatched book club she founded, bound together by one unusual rule: they choose their next book based solely on the last page. But when the book club discusses what their own last pages might say, Erin and her fellow members begin to see their own lives in unexpected ways. As the club's discussions grow deeper, long-buried secrets surface, old wounds start to heal - and romance leaps off the page. With The Bookmark under threat of closure, Erin must ask herself: can she write herself a happier story? A heartwarming novel about friendship, second chances, and the surprising ways stories shape our lives, perfect for lovers of Evie Woods, Sally Page, and Pip Williams. -------------------------- Readers and authors have fallen in love with Kate Storey: `A gorgeous story full of emotion and a very special library' Evie Woods 'A lovely story that celebrates books, family and kindness. Touching and beautiful' Hazel Prior `Beautiful and emotional' Sue Moorcroft `Kate Storey has a gift for writing heart-warming stories that make you care about the characters she creates' Reader review ★★★★★ `Perfect for book lovers' Reader review ★★★★★ `An easy, feel good read!'

Kate Storey writes from the heart and the gut about mistakes and how we can learn from them. Great characters and a truly heartwarming story - I loved it!' Laura Pearson, author of #1 Kindle bestseller The Last List of Mabel Beaumont 'An utterly gorgeous page turner about the power of books, family and forgiveness.' Phaedra Patrick, The Library of Lost and Found `A gorgeous novel that pairs my (and many people's) perennial love for books about books with themes of family - and just how complex they can be.' Platinum
