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.
