A review by mindfullibrarian
The Last Chance Library by Freya Sampson

3.0

(Free review copy) This sweet and simple story offers a beautiful look at libraries and their integral place in our communities. Set in a small English village, the introverted and socially anxious June has been frozen in life following the death of her mother years before. But when the local library where she works is threatened with closure, she bands together with a motley crew of locals to try to save it. I really did love the message in this story, and wavered between rating it 3 or 4 stars. However, there was just enough clumsiness in the writing and plot that I took it down to 3. It didn’t keep me from enjoying the message, but it does make me want to caveat my recommendation. If you don’t mind a few missteps along the way and love books about books, give this one a shot.
