The Seaside Library Quotes

“She stripped off the leather coat she’d worn to bridge, and he hung it on an elaborate yet unique coat tree next to some built-in bookshelves that were so extensive his living room almost resembled a library—at least on that side.

“In so many ways, she was the luckiest person in the world—someone who didn’t have to worry about money, someone who lived in a beautiful, exclusive area others paid a fortune to visit, someone who cared about the library and felt a great sense of purpose—and yet...something was missing. Her life wasn’t nearly as idyllic as others probably saw it.”
