This book will be endearing for all who love to read. A sweet heartwarming story about Natalie who suffers a tradegy and changes her life to care for her grandfather. Many changes cause stress but the main character handles all with caring and sensitivty. She finally open up her heart. This was a beautiful story well written and enjoyable for all fans of Susan Wiggs.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to preview this book. Susan Wiggs is an author that values character development and I greatly enjoyed the heart in The Lost and Found Bookshop. Yes, it is a bit formulaic, but it is such a nice read.

The Lost and Found Bookshop is an excellent book for everyone who loves books. Susan Wiggs never fails to deliver a story that mixes love, heart ache, family, and friends.

Natalie craves security, which makes her stick with a great job that she hates and a boyfriend who is perfect in every way but doesn't seem right for her. Unexpected tragedy strikes, and she returns home to San Francisco to try to run the independent bookstore she grew up with. Things look bad -- the store is virtually bankrupt and the old building is falling apart, but little by little, with help from new friends, she starts to make a go of it. This is truly a book for booklovers, as it is filled with allusions to favorite books past and present. As always, Susan Wiggs writes from the heart and tells a story that gets us so involved, we don't want the book to end.

As with all of Susan Wiggs books this was very enjoyable. I felt as if I was right there with Natalie and Andrew as Natalie takes over the bookstore and cares for her grandfather Andrew. This was a "feel good" story and I highly recommend it.

This was such a fun book to read — San Francisco, a book shop, hidden treasures and the requisite hunky, intelligent, warm “hammer for hire” who is both emotionally available and comes complete with adorable child. I knew it would be good when she threw in a well-justified “take this job and shove it” moment. Plenty of literary references, a great set of characters I would love to know, and easy to read. Susan Wiggs is on my list of goto authors who will always lift my mood.

Natalie is stuck at a job that gives her nothing but a paycheck and in a relationship with a boyfriend she’d like to leave, when suddenly tragedy strikes and her life turns upside down. She moves back to San Francisco to help her grandfather run her mother’s beloved store, The Lost & Found Bookshop. Her grandfather has dementia, the bookshop is failing, but these adversity’s help her find her way back to happiness, buoyed by the new and old people that come into her life.
An interesting storyline, filled with genuine characters you’d like to know, this is quintessential Susan Wiggs, who writes about human life with great insight, kindness and wisdom.
