Chapter One Again: A Novel by Keelia Clarkson

Chapter One Again: A Novel by Keelia Clarkson is a cozy second-chance romance.  Jane is a ghostwriter in New York City, but longs to write her own novels.  She takes a trip home to Avilla Falls, Colorado to see her parents and in the process begins to see her hometown differently, her life choices and what she wants for the future.    

Jane was a relatable character who I found refreshing.  I enjoyed getting to know on her journey as she took an honest appraisal of her heart, life, and rediscovered what was important to her.  Noah who is someone she knew of in high school was a great love interest.  The author magically wove in so many thoughtful themes of beauty, redemption, and realizing what is important in life. 

Chapter One Again was a cozy, uplifting, and sweet story that helps you remember there is so much beauty in our day to day lives. I enjoyed visiting the Colorado town of Avila Falls and am looking forward to returning in the second book, Page Two with You.  I highly recommend Chapter One Again byKeelia Clarkson, and this will be a 2026 favorite of for me. 

I was gifted a copy and not required to write a positive review.
