Samantha Casey is a school librarian that loves her home, loves her job, loves her friends, and loves her life. But when an former colleague, Duncan Carpenter, shows up to be the new school principal, everything she thought she knew is turned upside down. While I enjoyed the overall theme of the book that joy can still be found in the midst of difficult circumstances, I could not move past the fact that the main characters were very annoying. I finished the book hoping for some sort of redemptive quality in them to appear, but it never came, and the books conclusion was somewhat messy.
