A review by trivial_reads
The Paris Bookshop for the Broken-hearted by Rebecca Raisin

3.5

Bookshops are safe havens— where we can find comfort, escape, and sometimes even answers. But imagine a bookshop that doesn’t just comfort you but actually calls to broken hearts and helps heal them. That’s exactly the kind of magical place Valerie runs on a quiet street in Paris. She’s not your typical bookshop owner either—Valerie is a beacon of love and support, offering friendship, advice, food, drinks, and, of course, books to anyone in need.

Enter Coco, who’s nursing a broken heart after being betrayed by the man she loved in London. With her 13-year-old daughter in tow, she moves to Paris to stay with her parents temporarily, hoping to find her footing again. Life isn’t easy, though—she’s juggling single parenthood, a daughter who’s unhappy about leaving London, and the uncertainty of starting over. But everything changes when Coco stumbles upon Valerie’s bookshop. Soon enough, she’s not only working there but also starting to feel like maybe this new chapter of her life has more in store for her than she ever imagined.This book is one of those reads that feels like a warm hug—light, heartwarming, and incredibly easy to lose yourself in.
