Chloe Sampson's is raising her three younger siblings and struggling to make ends meet. Her mother walk away from them and left Chloe with no choice but to move back home and care for them. She is working as a librarian and struggling to make ends met. While working she comes across a rare edition of a book - the book is filled with writing. The writing leads her on a scavenger sort of hunt as she wishes to discover the life story of the individuals corresponding in the margins of a book that wasn't just rare but also banned.
Imagine her surprise when she discovers one set of the handwriting belongs to her cantankerous neighbor, Jasper who has offered to purchase the book from her. Chloe ends up searching for additional books that tell the story of two lovers in order to find out what happened to them.
The Library of Borrowed Hearts is a story told in different narratives and time periods. The points of views are distinct. The story within the story appealed to me the most as I found those characters more interesting. The build is slow but if you push through it you'll find the read worth it.
** I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
