Everyone deserves a happily ever after, that's why Jenna Murphy is fiercely proud of her romance-only bookstore, BookLove. With her pets by her side, she’s content in her neat life, convinced that one day she'll find her person. Jenna helps Grandma with her groceries, runs the library’s used book sale, and hands out water to the runners in the local 5K race. What's not to love? Sawyer Hall, a sharp-witted book blogger, has gained a reputation for her brutally honest takes. Fresh from a messy breakup, her posts have grown...snarkier than usual, and when she stumbles into Jenna's charming bookstore filled with “sappy fluff,” she doesn’t exactly hold back. Sawyer's suggestion that romance novels peddle unattainable dreams to the sad and lonely makes Jenna absolutely livid. But fate has a twisted sense of humor because a new neighbor is moving into the other half of Jenna’s duplex and it's Sawyer Hall, because, of course it is. And Sawyer is gorgeous. And funny. And sort of makes Jenna swoon. So annoying. A witty, heartwarming enemies to lovers romance about falling for the girl next door that proves the best stories are the ones with endings we never see coming.
