by Aimee MacRae, Sarah Williams

City librarian, Poppy McLuster dreams of building community gardens, cooking programs and knitting circles, but these are fast becoming bogged down by tech hubs, 3D printers and self-serve machines. Her desires seem wishful until one day, Poppy receives a job offer in a small town she’s never heard of to turn an almost derelict library into a vibrant community hub. How hard can it be? Never mind the hot disagreeable neighbour, gossiping locals and a double-dealing developer out to thwart her plans.

Poppy’s got this. Or so she thinks.

Can this city girl save the library and bring the community together before it’s too late? Or will the country life prove that the grass isn’t always greener?

My only disappointment with this book, is that it ended! Such a lovely story, that was so easy to read. You will love the comical side of the story and the light hearted, down to earth storyline! You cannot help but fall in love with Poppy, Aiden, Nica and Thomas. A wonderful, small town country novel - the heart of our wonderful country 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Congratulations Aimee on your first novel - I am so looking forward to your next one! Highly recommended - you will not be disappointed 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
