'This book is a beautiful, heartwarming read. It’s a story of love, friendship and secrets and I devoured every page' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Full of warmth, fun and feel-good factor' #1 Sunday Times Bestseller Katie Fforde

When travel writer Jack Hartwell arrives on Puffin Island amidst a terrible storm, he stumbles into The Story Shop, the island's quaint bookshop.

Seeking refuge, he finds himself immersed in Amelia Brown's enchanting world of books, puffins, and an eccentric group of book club regulars. So when the enigmatic Amelia challenges Jack to read a mysterious novel The Temptation Bucket List – and to complete its challenges with her – he can’t resist.

But with Jack’s time on Puffin Island ticking away, the stakes rise. The final item on the list? To share a secret that no one else knows…
