ABOUT THE BOOK
Emma Burcelli has suffered over a decade of dating disasters. But she
concludes that love is officially dead when her grandfather Poppi
suddenly passes, leaving her grandmother Nona devastated. To help out,
Emma works in the family bookstore, which Nona insists must be decked
out in sweetheart décor as Poppi would have done for Valentine's Day.
Although she feels like a V-Day Scrooge, Emma quickly learns to enjoy
the task with the help of a handsome family friend, Lane Forester, who
shows her that hanging hearts is much more fun when done to the tune of
Dean Martin. As Emma and Lane share time and memories of Poppi, she
reconsiders the notion that romance is alive.
