"This is one for the folks who leaf through guest books, wondering at the lives of previous visitors. After a breakup, Louisa convinces her mysterious landlord to let her turn the beautiful Colorado mountain home she had rented with her ex into a bed-and-breakfast for the brokenhearted. Guests arrive and form community over cups of coffee and chats about grief and love around the kitchen table. Henry, the landlord (did I mention he’s cute and likes dogs?), keeps popping up too, fixing things, joining guests on hikes and perhaps healing a heartbreak of his own. Grief often feels like the tragic end of a story, but romance novels and this one in particular are a reminder that heartbreak is the middle of your story, not the end of it."
