What to expect

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?
