Hardcover:

THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER THAT CELEBRATES LOVE, LIFE, AND FINDING THE RIGHT BOOK AT THE RIGHT TIME

Join readers around the world who have fallen in love with the book praised by Adriana Trigiani as “the feel-good novel of the year”—an emotional and uplifting story about one woman’s reading-inspired journey to live, dream, and love again.

Tilly Nightingale lost her husband Joe to cancer just five months ago, and with him, her love of reading. On her birthday, she gets an unexpected call from Alfie, the owner of her local bookshop: Joe left behind one final gift, twelve books, one to arrive each month for a year, each paired with a letter explaining why he chose it.

As Tilly works her way through Joe's list, each book nudges her toward an adventure she never expected, a trip to Paris, a swim in Bali, a half-marathon, a night of wild camping in Scotland. Somewhere between grief and discovery, she starts to feel like herself again.

Along the way, she leans on her sister Harper, a growing community of online followers cheering her on, and Alfie, who is quietly working through a loss of his own. What begins as a way to keep Joe close slowly becomes something Tilly never expected: a reason to open her heart again.

Warm, wise, and unabashedly hopeful, This Book Made Me Think of You is a love letter to books, bookshops, and the people who help us find our way back to living.
