Sometimes real life is sweeter than fiction…

???? ???? ???? ???? ????

Anna is not having a good summer. She’s pretty sure she’s flunked her exams and to make matters worse, her boyfriend, Max, has unceremoniously dumped her. So when her aunt invites her to stay at her bookshop by the sea for the summer, she reluctantly takes her up on the offer. At least she can hide out there, maybe get her mess of a life back on track. But she wasn''t counting on the infuriating but distractingly hot local surfer who keeps crossing her path, or the celebrity launch she unwittingly agrees to host at the bookshop.

One thing''s for sure, this summer is going to be anything but boring.

The Wildest Dreams Bookshop is perfect for hopeless romantics, book lovers, readers who love slow burn romance and fans of Lynn Painter and Jenny Han!

Tropes:

Opposites attract

Small town

Forced proximity

Every book in the Wildest Dreams Bookshop series can be read as a standalone.

''A sweet, immersive escape.'' Publishers Weekly

''Entertaining and sweet. A must-buy for the young adult crowd; readers will be excitedly waiting for the next book in the ­series.''

Gracie Page lives in London but daydreams about leaving her office job to open a bookshop by the sea. The Wildest Dreams Bookshop is her debut novel. When she’s not writing she can be found walking her dog, Mabel, listening to Taylor Swift and attempting to bake the perfect cinnamon bun.
