Description of It’s Me They Follow by Jeannine A. Cook
An allegorical love story—a modern day The Alchemist meets The NeverEnding Story—set in a world where a book shopkeeper becomes a reluctant matchmaker, bringing soulmates together through books.
It’s Me They Follow is an allegorical love story set in a not-so-distant past. It follows The Shopkeeper, a bookseller and reluctant matchmaker. Helping others find love through books comes easily for The Shopkeeper, until it is time for her to find love for herself.
She secretly yearns for her first customer, ME, who took both her most prized book and a piece of her heart when he left. But just when she begins to lose hope, she discovers that she may hold the key to her own happily ever after as well.
Real life Shopkeeper and author Jeannine A. Cook has conjured a magical story that is a book within a book within a book. Soon, readers will find themselves falling under the same love spell as her customers and characters. In this magical bookshop where the line between fiction and reality blurs, stories and real life intertwine in an enchanting and moving narrative about human connection, the power of storytelling, and the spirit of love.
