Dear Mysterious Reader, I think I’m falling in love . . .
Everyone wants a piece of actress Allegra Brooks. When she decides she desperately needs to get away from the spotlight she heads for the remote town of Lake Pristine and its summertime book festival.
When Allegra immediately clashes with annoying (and annoyingly handsome) bookseller Jonah Thorne, their rivalry soon becomes the talk of the small town. Before long, Allegra’s main escape is the increasingly flirtatious email relationship she’s sharing with an anonymous charming bookseller that she’s sure can’t possibly be Jonah . . .
An unforgettable romcom about finding the one person who makes you feel yourself when the whole world is watching.
