Description

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Most Anticipated by Parade · Buzzfeed · Harper’s Bazaar · Elle · She Reads · The Seattle Times · BookRiot and more! A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fiction…literally, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip and The Dead Romantics. 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 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. Read more

    • 5 Star Magical Realism
Eileen (Elsy) Merriweather, a part-time English professor, loves getting lost in happily-ever-afters but only the fictional kind. Her favorite escape is the Super Smutty Book Club with her best friend Prudence and other book lovers, all brought together by the late author Rachel Flowers, whose unfinished series they adore. Determined to take their annual trip to a cabin in update New York, despite everyone else bailing, Elsy heads out only to find herself in Eloraton, New York—the exact setting of Rachel’s series. As she meets the town's residents, she realizes she already knows them, except for Anders, the grumpy bookstore owner. Elsy’s adventures in Eloraton are pure magic. Meeting characters she’s only read about feels surreal, and the quaint, charming town quickly becomes a second home. Anders, with his grumpy demeanor and mysterious past, adds a delicious tension to the story. Their interactions are filled with witty banter and slow-burn chemistry that will make your heart flutter. This book totally slayed, and I have zero complaints. Ashley Poston never disappoints with her beautiful writing, magical storytelling, and relatable characters. If you’ve ever wished you could visit your favorite fictional small town or date your book boyfriend (Cassian I am looking at you), this book is for YOU! It felt like a big, warm hug. The story is more than just a romance between Elsy and Anders; it’s about Elsy’s journey of self-discovery and healing. She learns to embrace the unexpected and finds strength in her vulnerabilities. This book gave me all the warm and fuzzy feelings. Don’t expect just a romance between two people. Yes, it’s there, and it’s lovely, with a happy ending, don’t worry. The sense of community, the healing power of stories, and the charming small-town vibes make this a must-read. Reads this if you like: - magical realism - slow burn - book boyfriends - grumpy x sunshine - forced proximity ... show more

    • Wow! Exactly not what I was expecting!
This was such a warm cozy read! I loved the whole premise of the not really there town and not quite finished stories! Anderson and Eileen's story was different, great twist! The relationship between Elsy and Pru was perfect, real best friends in it together. Loved the book club dynamic. This book has so many different elements, the break up, the best friend, the characters in the not quite real town, the growth and self realization! I loved getting to know the characters in Rachel's books! Imagine meeting the characters from your most beloved series! Your imagination vs how they really are "in real life" 😊 Really such a great premise, I enjoyed immensely! What a good read!! ... show more

    • Okay, but concept was convoluted
The story was good overall, but the plot and the concept of the fictional town had some holes that were hard to get by.

    • This book is sure to please, its wonderful and I didn't want to put it down
Elsy loves to get lost in romance books because they all have happily-ever-after’s and the men don’t leave you at the altar. She looks forward to her annual book retreat, she needs the getaway and the cheap wine and grand romantic gestures. When her car unexpectedly breaks down on the highway, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels a little familiar, and like it’s straight out of novel…because it is. Eloraton isn’t real, it’s the town of her all-time favorite romance series, where the taffy is always honey sweet, and the local bars burgers are always a little burnt. It’s perfect, and it’s perfectly frozen in time, trapped in the late author’s unfinished story. Elsy feels like she knows everyone in town, everyone except the grumpy bookstore owner. As Elsy tries to get the town their storybook ending, she starts to wonder if the towns happily-ever-after might be intertwined with her own. I always get a little nervous when my highly anticipated books come out, because I’m worried I’ve built them up too much in my head and they won’t live up to my internal hype. But I am excited to say that did not happen here, this book lived up to my hype and exceeded my expectations. I have loved every book I’ve read by Ashley Poston. Her writing is just so heartwarming, and her characters are just so real. Reading the synopsis, I wasn’t sure I fully understood exactly what was going to happen and I admit that I was a bit perplexed. But once I started reading, I had a lot of fun with it, and it was amazing. The concept of being transported to your favorite novel was new to me and I don’t think that I’ve read a story where this has happened very often. There have been many times that I wish I could transport myself into the pages of a book, immerse myself in the characters’ world, and that is exactly what happened here. It was a nice change of pace for me to get to read something out of the ordinary and have it be done so well. Magical realism is one of my favorite subgenres, so I am always elated to read it and enjoy doing so. I wouldn’t say that the magical realism is super heavy in this book, it’s more of a sprinkling, so even if it isn’t your favorite, you would still be able to enjoy this book. The characters were all wonderfully done. Elsy was the main character and there were plenty of supporting characters. They all brought a nice addition to the story, and they were all important, even those that played a minor role. I just love that all the characters feel like real people and like they could just walk right off the page into the world. I’ve enjoyed that each of Ashley Poston’s books are unique and while they all bring fantastic writing and beautifully developed characters, they are all very different concepts. But one thing they all have in common is they are all magical. I will continue to seek out and look forward to each new release from Ashley Poston. ... show more
