Love Walked In
From the New York Times bestselling author of Watch Us Shine comes a “bewitching, warmhearted grown-up fairy tale about old movies, charming princes, and finding happily ever after in the place where you’d least expect it” (Jennifer Weiner).
When Martin Grace enters the hip Philadelphia coffee shop Cornelia Brown manages, her life changes forever. But little does she know that her newfound love is only the harbinger of greater changes to come. Meanwhile, across town, Clare Hobbs—eleven years old and abandoned by her erratic mother—goes looking for her lost father. She crosses paths with Cornelia while meeting with him at the café, and the two women form an improbable friendship that carries them through the unpredictable currents of love and life.

Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos 3⭐️ I was going to give this book a 2 star rating but the ending was better. I was not a fan of Cornelia, I like Clare and Teo a whole lot more. As for the plot, it was predictable and that made it difficult to just read it and not skip ahead. I actually had to use the horrid audiobook to keep myself from skipping through the redundancies. Besides the ok ending I also liked the classic movie and book references. These oldies kind of hindered Cornelia because she compared everyone to Cary Grant. I love Cary Grant. It’s hard to pick a favorite movie of his, I love An Affair to Remember and The Philadelphia Story and so many others. But the way Cornelia was going on and on and on about Cary Grant and how much Martin (whom I also didn’t like right away) almost made me tired of hearing about Cary Grant. Sorry. Did I just say his name. Again and again... like the way I kept hearing about him in this book? So you see why this was almost a did-not-finish (dnf) read. I wouldn’t have finished this if I had read it on my own but this was for a personal and Play Book Tag challenge.
