Wildest Dreams Bookshop

Sometimes real life is better than fiction ... Seventeen-year-old Anna's summer is not off to a good start. She's pretty sure she's flunked her exams, and her boyfriend, Max, has unceremoniously dumped her. So when her aunt invites her to come work and live at her seaside bookshop, Anna takes her up on the offer-what other choice does she have? At least there she can hide out, maybe get her mess of a life back on track without the distractions of everyone she knows. But there are plenty of other kinds of distractions in this sleepy little town: the infuriatingly hot local surfer who keeps crossing her path, for instance, plus the celebrity book launch Anna unwittingly agrees to host at the bookshop. It might not be any less messy than her real life, but this summer is going to be anything but boring!

Curl up this winter with Snowed in at the Wildest Dreams Bookshop, a gorgeously cosy, grumpy x sunshine small-town romcom, perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Jenny Han. When snow falls, sparks fly... Ivy’s first term at art college hasn’t gone to plan. Lacking in friends and inspiration, she’s looking forward to a quiet, cosy, antisocial winter holiday working at the Wildest Dreams Bookshop. Except, her sleepy small town is suddenly full of chirpy tourists, including Trip – her most annoyingly sunshine-y (and annoyingly handsome) new customer of all, who’s desperate for Ivy to show him the sights of Fox Bay. Ivy doesn’t think there’s much of interest in her hometown, but can seeing it through Trip’s eyes give her a fresh perspective? And when they both get roped in to helping save the local school show, might Trip be the unlikely inspiration Ivy needs to get her creative sparks flying again?
