Celebrate the healing power of books, love, and new beginnings in This Book Made Me Think of You, a heartwarming standalone contemporary fiction novel by Sunday Times bestselling author Libby Page. Filled with hope, grief, friendship, and the magic of reading, this emotional novel follows one woman's journey toward healing through twelve carefully chosen books and the enduring love of her late husband.

When Tilly Nightingale receives a phone call informing her that her husband has left her a birthday gift at the local bookshop, she's stunned.

Joe passed away five months ago.

Waiting for her is an extraordinary surprise: twelve books, one for each month of the coming year, each paired with a heartfelt handwritten letter from Joe encouraging her to slowly rediscover joy, hope, and herself.

At first, Tilly can't imagine losing herself in fiction while grieving such a profound loss. But with every story she reads, every letter she opens, and every visit to the charming local bookshop, she begins to find comfort where she least expects it.

Alongside the compassionate bookseller Alfie, Tilly embarks on reading-inspired adventures that take her beyond the pages of her favorite novels and into a future she never believed possible.

Tender, uplifting, and beautifully written, This Book Made Me Think of You is a moving celebration of books, enduring love, second chances, and finding light after loss.
