Henry used to be best friends with Rachel until she moved away and changed. Coming back to town, Rachel gets a job cataloguing the books in the book shop and hides the fact her brother, Cal drowned while they were away but slowly opens up to people about it after the keep commenting on how much she has changed. He is also dealing with a break up and seeing his ex girlfriend Amy with Greg whom he can't stand as he's his opposite in terms of life and career goals.
Also working at the shop is George and Martin whom at first are goth girl meets popular kid and total opposites apart from the fact that they may just possibly like each other if only Georgie wasn't in love with Cal still unknowing his death.
The couples in the novel all communicate through books in the shops in a section called the letter library are deliberately left slotted into pages of certain books, obviously with meaning between the couple.
It's a great book overall about the subject of accepting and moving on through situations of any kind that we face. I personally really enjoyed the whole concept of it being set in a bookshop bringing so many lives colliding together!
