From the bestselling author of The Bookshop of Yesterdays comes a charming novel about a woman with a special gift—her stories help people fall in love.
When Alice's best friend, Gabby, is reeling from a breakup, Alice writes her a heartfelt story to cheer her up. While reading it in a café, Gabby, as if by magic, meets the man of her dreams. Thinking the story might have some special power to it, Gabby shares it with her sister and other friends, who all find instant love. Word of mouth spreads, and Alice stumbles upon a new calling—to be a love scribe.
But not all the love stories she writes unfold as expected. And while Alice tries to harness her extraordinary gift, she is summoned to a mansion in the woods where she encounters the reclusive Madeline Alger and her mysterious library. As Alice struggles to write a story for Madeline, her most challenging assignment yet, she's forced to confront her own guarded heart. Because maybe—just maybe—there's a love story waiting to be written for her, too.
Emotional, deeply imaginative and brimming with valuable life lessons, The Love Scribe explores love, fate and the power of stories when we choose to believe in them.

      Alice has never considered herself a writer, but one night, she's struck by an inspiration. She writes a short fable and gives it to her best friend, Gabby, who is going through a difficult breakup. After Gabby reads the story, she falls in love with Oliver, who seems to be everything she's been looking for. When a second story helps another lonely person find love, word about Alice's extraordinary powers spreads. Then Alice is contacted by Madeline, a mysterious older woman who became a recluse after the death of her partner. Madeline wants a story, but Alice's magical inspiration fails her. Alice soon discovers that Madeline has a similar gift, but many of the relationships have changed--or ended. If their stories aren't helping their readers find true love, are they accomplishing something equally important? Meyerson (The Imperfects, 2020) takes a gentle, warmhearted approach to her characters, exploring how early experiences shaped Alice's fear of love and commitment and showing how the loneliest can find love, if only they open their heart to it. This romantic, magic-tinged tale will resonate with fans of Rebecca Serle and Jenny Colgan.
