A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fiction… literally. Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she’s so set on going to her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what. But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a novel… Because it is. This place can’t be real, and yet… she’s here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. It’s perfect—and perfectly frozen, trapped in the late author’s last unfinished story. Elsy is sure that’s why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending. Except there is a character in Eloraton that she can’t place—a 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 town’s happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.

    Started this one while I finish another book and something to mindlessly listen while taking care of the kiddos. While it is fun and lighthearted, not sure if this is my taste, a little… cheesy for me. I think I’m not a fan of the modern terms used, haha.

    I just finished this book after reading The Seven Year Slip. I have a new favorite romance author now, both were so enjoyable in different ways could not recommend this author more! On to the next!

    I was hesitant about this book at first but over 30% in I’m am pleased. It’s a fun cozy rom com. It reminds me of an episode that tv shows sometimes do where the characters get stuck in a cursed storybook town or like Once upon a time a bit.
