This Book Made Me Think of You: A Story About Grief, Love, and Finding Your Way Back
Some books feel like a warm conversation with a friend. This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page is one of those books.
At its heart, this is a story about grief—but not in the way you might expect. Rather than focusing solely on loss, the novel explores what happens after. How do we move forward? How do we reconnect with ourselves when life looks nothing like we thought it would?
The story follows a woman who begins receiving books chosen by her late husband, each one serving as a reminder of their shared love story while also gently nudging her toward a future she hasn't quite been ready to embrace. It's a premise that immediately pulled us in, but what kept us turning pages was the tenderness with which the story unfolds.
We loved the way books themselves became part of the narrative. Readers who love stories about bookstores, reading, literary connections, and the ways books shape our lives will find plenty to enjoy here. There are moments that made us smile, moments that tugged at our hearts, and plenty of reflections on how stories help us make sense of our own.
This isn't a book filled with dramatic twists or edge-of-your-seat suspense. Instead, it shines in its quieter moments—the conversations, the memories, the small acts of courage that slowly add up to transformation.
If you're looking for a thoughtful summer read with heart, hope, and plenty of bookish charm, This Book Made Me Think of You is one we'd happily place in your hands.
We'll feature our other two June box books soon -- come back and check those out!
