The Library of Lost Things is the first fictional novel to come out from Laura Taylor Namey. In this unique book, readers get the chance to meet the main character of Darcy Wells for the first time.

Darcy has been working hard for a long time and she’s tired of it. It seems like her whole life revolves around doing whatever it takes to keep other people out. She doesn’t want them in her life and she’s definitely not letting her guard down to let people into her heart. There’s a good reason why she goes to such lengths to keep people at a distance.

The truth is that the last thing that she wants is to let people see how she lives. Maybe it’s not her, exactly. The apartment that she shares with her mother is small, and the fact that her mom’s a hoarder makes it all the more cramped and cluttered. She doesn’t want to open that door to anyone because then they would find out the secret shame of what a mess they live in every day.

Darcy’s been keeping this a secret for a long time and with good reason. But when the balance starts to be threatened, she may have to get her head out of the books and into reality. Could finding happiness and love mean that she has to stop caring what others might think and accept the reality?

Or could it be bigger than that? Darcy wonders whether living her truth, regardless of whether it’s messy or not, may end up working in her favor in the end. Can she take a leap of faith and stop hiding behind closed doors? What will happen? Read this funny and interesting debut book to find out!
