The Thorn and the Blossom

By Theodora Goss & Scott Mckowen
The Thorn and the Blossom by Theodora Goss & Scott Mckowen digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

One enchanting romance. Two lovers keeping secrets. And a uniquely crafted book that binds their stories forever.

When Evelyn Morgan walked into the village bookstore, she didn’t know she would meet the love of her life. When Brendan Thorne handed her a medieval romance, he didn’t know it would change the course of his future. It was almost as if they were the cursed lovers in the old book itself . . .

The Thorn and the Blossom
 is a remarkable literary artifact: You can open the book in either direction to decide whether you’ll first read Brendan’s, or Evelyn’s account of the mysterious love affair. Choose a side, read it like a regular novel—and when you get to the end, you’ll find yourself at a whole new beginning.

“This is one of the instances where the beautiful cover has matching beautiful words inside! This book is so unique! You can read it 2 ways. Hold the book one direction and it's the FMC POV...then flip the book and it's the MMC POV. This book is the definition of a perfect palette cleanser! Short story, that was fast paced and had such an interesting retelling in it. Definitely something I could reread once a year for a quick 45minute "awwww" moment.”
