All Lily Hart wants is to prove she’s not the failure everyone thinks she is. After a series of setbacks—including failing out of business school and losing her dream apprenticeship—Lily returns to Jonathon Island with one goal in mind: save her family’s 74-year-old fudge shop and finally show the world she’s a capable businesswoman. The island is starting to bounce back, and Lily’s determined to be part of its revival. But when she arrives, she finds a major problem: her former high school sweetheart, Declan Kelley, is back too—and he’s claiming the shop for his family.

Russell, Rachel, and Rachael discuss their favorite books, the library, and, without keeping their feet as Bilbo Baggins so wisely suggested, wherever they might be swept off to.
