Description

Most Anticipated by Parade  Buzzfeed  Harpers Bazaar  Elle  She Reads  The Seattle Times  BookRiot and more!

A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fictionliterally, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip and The Dead Romantics.

Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men dont leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why shes so set on going her annual book club retreat this yearshe needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gesturesno matter what.

But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like its right out of a novel

Because it is.

This place cant be real, and yet shes here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy stores honey taffy is always sweet, the local bars burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. Its perfectand perfectly frozen, trapped in the late authors last unfinished story.

Elsy is sure thats why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending.

Except there is a character in Eloraton that she cant placea grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book.

Which is a problem because Elsy is beginning to think the towns happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.
