Synopsis: A bookseller is obsessed with a mysterious love note in the New York Times–bestselling author&’s &“sophisticated and witty valentine of a novel&” (People). Intelligent, sexy, and fortyish, Helen MacFarquhar is a woman in control of her life and everyone in it—until an anonymous love letter falls into her hands one summer morning. Helen has been leading a blissful existence as the proprietor of a small bookstore in a quaint New England seaside town. She beguiles her customers into buying the titles she recommends, and flirts shamelessly with nearly every one of the town&’s eccentric residents. But Helen&’s self-confidence falters when the love letter arrives in her mail. &“How do you fall in love?&” the letter asks, and the question becomes Helen&’s obsession, in this &“smart, moving, and funny&” (Detroit Free Press) story by the New York Times–bestselling author of The Three Weissmanns of Westport and They May Not Mean To, But They Do.
