- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2022I think the title of this book is rather apt - there are a lot of characters and their paths are all interwoven. Interesting that this is book one, I will have to keep an eye out for the next one in the series then, because I would like to know what happens next for several of these characters!
Evelyn has come home, after living in London and her marriage failing. She buys a bookshop, as you do, and this book is really about her as the central character, her dad Ethan, her sister Aimee and the employees of the bookshop, Joe and Lucie.
Everyone in this book has a story and the book works its way through each one.
I did find reading this novel a bit of an effort at times, it was a bit meandering for me, but nevertheless the characterisations were on point, and Evelyn's feelings about the ending of her marriage and her ex-husband Ishmael were spot-on too. The head and the heart are sometimes different things. I really felt for Ethan and his grieving for his late wife.
I liked the book, overall, I think the author did a good job. I would like to read the next one in the series :)
4 stars from me.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2022This was unfortunately not for me. The ending was satisfying enough that it's pulled my overall rating up from a 3 to 3.5, but the substance of the presentation was disappointing. It was a struggle to get through, but the plot was interesting enough that I finished even though it took me much longer to read than it should have.
I like the idea of a book about the ebb and flow of life; those times we get stuck followed by other times of forward motion. However, the characters seemed lackluster to me. None of them drew me in properly, and their thoughts and emotions somehow played out at arm's length. I just couldn't become invested in them.
I received a review copy of this book and am providing my honest opinion of it.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2022Evelyn buys a bookstore when she returns to her home to deal with her failed marriage. She is home with her widower father and a cast of other characters in town and at the bookshop. It’s an easy read for lazy summer days.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gentle and tender-hearted story that places family at the centre of an endearing narrative.
Where Paths Meet is a light, family driven story set in a bookshop. It’s detailed descriptions allow readers to step inside the story as they will Evelyn’s new venture to be a success. But it’s the attention to the other characters that makes for such a compelling read. Woven together in a light-hearted, yet meaningful way, there isn’t a character in this book I don’t want to know more about-can’t wait for the next book in the series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, touching and Emotional
I really enjoyed my trip to Taverton and meeting Evelyn and her family. The story is beautifully told. Ethan was a firm favourite, such a sweet, humble man. All the characters are loveable and bounce off one another really well. There's nothing to dislike about this book. Only good vibes eminate from it, the characters, the scenery, the difficult subjects all done with warmth and compassion. I look forward to going back.
