Overdue by Stephanie Perkins
This is a slow burn romance for people who love books. The story is told over the course of a year from the point of view of Ingrid. She is a librarian who has been in a relationship with her boyfriend for ten years. Their relationship has grown stagnant and when she learns of her sister's engagement, her boyfriend and her decide to take a break. Ingrid starts to go on dates but realizes that her grumpy fellow librarian, Macon, might just be the one she was meant to be with all along.
This was a sweet story and a good escape after a long day of work. I enjoyed Ingrid's story and the changes she made in her life. There were some laugh out loud moments for me. I also always enjoy a story that features a cat and yummy food. After finishing this book I do kind of what to make a career change as well. My only complaint is that it did feel long. The book took place over a year and at times it just felt like the pacing could move a little quicker. Overall, this was a heartwarming story that I think book lovers will like.
