Description

Book Lovers meets Notting Hill with a slice of You've Got Mail in this rivals-to-lovers romance from bestselling, award-winning author Elle McNicoll.

18-year-old Allegra Brooks has skyrocketed to fame after starring in a hit television show, and she's the overnight success that everyone's talking about. They just don't know she's autistic. And now all she wants is a normal teenage summer.

Her destination for escape is the remote Lake Pristine and its annual Book Festival, organized by the dedicated but unfriendly senior bookseller, Jonah Thorne.

In small towns like Lake Pristine, misunderstandings abound, and before long the two are drawn into high-profile hostility that's a far cry from the drama-free holiday Allegra was craving. Thank goodness for her saving grace: the increasingly personal emails she's been sharing with a charming and anonymous bookseller who is definitely not Jonah Thorne . . .

An unforgettable romcom about finding the one person who makes you feel like yourself when the whole world is watching.

Wow! I HIGHLY enjoyed this arc! The slow burn love was perfectly timed- I didn't feel as if it was too slow or too fast. This was also the first book that I've read where the main characters are neurodivergent- there is accuracy in terms of behavior/stims. The overall story was smooth, and flowed together.
