The Next Chapter, A Romance Bookstore, opened in December at 100 Smith St. Suite D in Clio, Mich. WSMH reported that the shop "features everything from novels by local authors to BookTok favorites. In addition to the romance books, The Next Chapter offers a cafe for coffee and dirty sodas, local crafts and occasionally author book signings."
Bookseller Danielle Richardson said the bookshop has become a community gathering space: "It's become quite a really great hangout. We get a couple book clubs and we've been getting to know the community a little bit. It's really just a great opportunity to come in, get a cup of coffee, brows our books, sit down and have a nice space where you can read and relax."
