A beautiful story of love. Finding love, loosing love, passionate love, dangerous love and other types of love in between. 

Alice does not want love or a relationship, these things are not for her. However, she feels strangely compelled to write a story for her friend Gabby who is struggling after a break up. When finally hearing back from her friend two weeks later, Gabby claims the story magically made her find love and the same occurred for the next few people who read her story. 

Word gets out and soon Alice is being paid thousands of dollars a book as a love scribe. 
One day Alice is asked by Madeline who asks her to write her a story, yet Alice can’t manage to write this story. As Alice tries to get to know Madeline, in order to get the words to flow, she starts to uncover more than she expected. 

This was a beautiful book, I loved the idea of a a book magically making someone discover who they are and open up to love. There was also a great, darker twist to the story that wasn’t expected but gave it so much more depth. 

I did feel it could be slightly shorter but enjoyed it all the same.
