When it's a dream of Sophie, and Aiden wants it to come true!
The book revolves around the central character i.e. Sophie whose dream is to own a bookshop in Piper's Cove. She has spent her life till now in the role of a mother to her siblings after their mother died. Her father has left all the three children to Gods mercy. He is alive yet absent in their life. The siblings grow up to have their own journey, have settled in their life but have taken Sophie for granted and considered always available for them. And Sophie is carrying out all the responsibilities happily without any burden until one day when she had to make a hard choice between a wonderful date with her love, Aiden or travel to a place and get a task done as her sister wished. She chooses the latter and they once again part away.
Flashback: Sophie and Aiden, her college love, reunite at her sisters wedding. The bitterness between them is because of their breakup after college days. Now this bitterness has turned to awkwardness. They just want to be away from each others sight and pretend as if everything is fine. After the wedding, the situation turns out in such a way that Aiden has to stay at Sophie's place for a day. Sophie isn't very comfortable with this. There is so much going on in her life. The most important event of her life, opening of her bookshop has come close. She is happy and tensed at the same time. Happy for her dream turning into reality and tensed for so many tasks to be completed before opening of the shop. Between all this, she injures her ankle badly which makes her limp. She is disheartened at the thought that she'll have to postpone the event. Aiden, however motivates her and assures her that event will happen as decided. He decides to stay back in Piper's Cove to help Sophie get the tasks done. He also takes care of her injured ankle. This togetherness sparks their lost love and make them realise that they still want to be with each other.

Heartwarming and light read. Moreover, the theme of the book is evolving of wonderful relationship, a wave of emotions, a bookshop and a happy ending. What more do I ask as a book lover?
