Yes, Benjamin Palermo is the owner of the local bookstore. Ben inherited it from his uncle, the same place he used to go to when he was a little boy and play with a little girl named Rosie. Ben barely remembers that time in his life, but as he goes through some momentos, those memories do come back. He remembers The Story People, people who eat the stories out of the books at night! He and Rosie used to talk about them a lot, and Rosie drew pictures of them for Ben.
Back in everyday life, Ben is “the bachelor” that everyone wants to marry off! This gets pretty severe for the guy! He has not been able to choose his own dates as the women of the town seem to fix him up! That is until one day when a woman named Rosemary walks into the shop! He likes her!
Fast forward - he decides he wants to sell the bookstore. STOP! Not according to the little old ladies who live there! He WILL keep the bookstore! Oh, they devised a plan to jinx his selling the store! It was hilarious! It’s worth it to read this book just for that!
With the old ladies exposed, now Ben works on Rosemary and charming her! Everything backfires on him!
This is a fun book that will put a little smile on your face as you read it! It’s entertaining, the old ladies are nosey, and things work out the way they are supposed to, whether Ben wants them to or not!! This book is a nice change of pace as long as you don’t mind prayer being in your books.
One of the best parts of this book were about The Story People, and how they fit into the bookstore and the book. You’ll enjoy that very much. At the end of every chapter there was a small section written about The Story People. It’s worth reading this book for that part alone!! Enjoy!
