Book Description
‘I absolutely LOVED IT… I was absolutely hooked from page one until the fantastic ending. I completely absorbed this page-turner in one sitting… Bridget Jones watch out!’ Bookworm86, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What if you meet the love of your life, but he thinks you’re someone else? Anna and Marley are best friends. So when Anna rings Marley, panicking because she has to miss a tour of an exclusive wedding venue, Marley agrees to go in her friend’s place. After being totally ignored by the glamorous receptionist who can tell she doesn’t belong there, Marley meets handsome hotel manager Cameron. He assumes she’s Anna and instead of admitting that she’s not the blushing bride, but the unlucky-in-love single friend, Marley plays along to see what it’s like to be Anna for a day. After all, Marley is unemployed, single and was woken up that morning by her flatmate playing the bagpipes. Anna has a high-flying career and is planning the perfect wedding. Why wouldn’t Marley want to be her? Only she wasn’t counting on Cameron being so smart and funny. Or this spark between them that she can’t ignore. She hasn’t felt this way about a guy in forever. But he thinks she’s somebody better. Marley needs a way out of this mix-up to get her shot at true love. But her fictional fiancé is now standing in her way and it’s harder than she thought to stop living someone else’s life… A funny, uplifting and poignant story of friendship, love and finding your way. Fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Holly Bourne and Bridget Jones will adore Elizabeth Neep’s wit and warmth. Readers are falling in love with The New Me: ‘Elizabeth Neep hit it out of the park… Grab a comfy blanket, a cuppa, clear your schedule, enjoy.’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A light-hearted read that makes your heart smile… A girl-power novel… The perfect feel-good read. I read this in one day!’ Goodreads reviewer ‘Perfect for fans of the Bridget Jones vibe… Charming and witty… This story is perfectly paired with a cocktail and warm day reading outside.’ sum.reads ‘What a fantastic read!… A fun, fast read that I enjoyed!... Wonderful book!’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I have absolutely fallen in love with Elizabeth Neep’s writing… I LOVED this!’ Readbydaisy ‘A feel good romcom with a difference.’ Goodreads reviewer ‘I loved this fun, uplifting feel good book. It really made me smile.’ Goodreads reviewer ‘I loved… I read this in one day because I kept needing to know what happened next!’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I enjoyed this book so much and stayed up all night to read it.’ Goodreads reviewer ‘Glorious… Brimming with life and laughter… Just amazing… An adorable romance.’ Bethanys Bookshelf ‘Cheeky, fun and light… Lots of twists and turns… Exactly what I wanted.’ Goodreads reviewer ‘I discovered Elizabeth Neep last year and I've read her three books as soon as they have been available!... The best thing about this book is that it's not only focused on romance (although there is romance in it) but on the power of female friendship, on finding yourself, and the thought that it is ok not to be perfect… I hope Elizabeth Neep writes another book soon!’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I have enjoyed all of Elizabeth Neep's books… They are getting funnier with each book!... Very humorous and light-hearted… I would recommend to all.’ Goodreads reviewer ‘I’m so happy that I found this book! Lots of romance, having fun and spice! A must read!’ Goodreads reviewer ‘A quick read that kept me entertained and awake past my bedtime reading. I’d definitely recommend it!’ BookishlyBouv ‘Great to sit back and enjoy with my morning coffee!’ Goodreads reviewer ‘A great read to pass a rainy afternoon!’ Goodreads reviewer ‘So many twists and turns in the story that it quite honestly kept me on edge for ages wondering how it would all work out.’ Goodreads reviewer

"A uniquely charming mixture of whimsy and the macabre that completely won me over. If you ever wished for an adult romance that felt like Howl's Moving Castle, THIS IS THAT BOOK." —Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient Hart is a marshal, tasked with patrolling the strange and magical wilds of Tanria. It’s an unforgiving job, and Hart’s got nothing but time to ponder his loneliness. Mercy never has a moment to herself. She’s been single-handedly keeping Birdsall & Son Undertakers afloat in defiance of sullen jerks like Hart, who seems to have a gift for showing up right when her patience is thinnest. After yet another exasperating run-in with Mercy, Hart finds himself penning a letter addressed simply to “A Friend”. Much to his surprise, an anonymous letter comes back in return, and a tentative friendship is born. If only Hart knew he’s been baring his soul to the person who infuriates him most—Mercy. As the dangers from Tanria grow closer, so do the unlikely correspondents. But can their blossoming romance survive the fated discovery that their pen pals are their worst nightmares—each other? Set in a world full of magic and demigods, donuts and small-town drama, this enchantingly quirky, utterly unique fantasy is perfect for readers of The House in the Cerulean Sea and The Invisible Library.

Long Story Short
Author: Serena Kaylor
Publisher: Wednesday Books
ISBN: 1250818427
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
“Like the best of the Bard himself, Long Story Short combines dazzling repartee with iconic, nuanced characters and the kind of charged, perfectly paced romance fit for the world stage...a sparkling Shakespearean homage and a wonderful debut.” —Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of Always Never Yours In Serena Kaylor's sparkling debut, a homeschooled math genius finds herself out of her element at a theater summer camp and learns that life—and love—can’t be lived by the (text)book. Growing up homeschooled in Berkeley, California, Beatrice Quinn has always dreamed of discovering new mathematical challenges at Oxford University. She always thought the hardest part would be getting in, not convincing her parents to let her go. But while math has always made sense to Beatrice, making friends is a problem she hasn’t been able to solve. Before her parents will send her halfway across the world, she has to prove she won’t spend the next four years hiding in the library. The compromise: the Connecticut Shakespearean Summer Academy and a detailed list of teenage milestones to check off. If Beatrice wants to live out her Oxford dream, she has to survive six weeks in the role of “normal teenager” first. Unfortunately, hearts and hormones don't follow any equations. When she's adopted by a group of eclectic theater kids, and immediately makes an enemy of the popular—and annoyingly gorgeous—British son of the camp’s founders, Beatrice quickly learns that relationships are trickier than calculus. With her future on the line, this girl genius stumbles through illicit parties, double dog dares, and more than her fair share of Shakespeare. But before the final curtain falls, will Beatrice realize there’s more to life than what she can find in the pages of a book?
