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 knows a thing or two about romance.
As a professor of literature, she teaches prestigious courses on history’s greatest romantics, but one week out of the year she abandons her dusty textbooks and makes a pilgrimage to the Hudson Valley with her best friend Pru to meet their Super Smutty Book Club in person, and celebrate the romance series that brought them together—Quixotic Falls. It’s a week of wine and happily-ever-afters.
Or it’s supposed to be.
Pru bails at the last minute, and Elsy winds up lost in Hudson Valley—alone. In a thunderstorm. When she takes shelter in a bookstore, she immediately gets on the bad side of its grumpy (and infuriatingly sexy) owner, and finds herself in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a book…
Because it is.
Eloraton can’t be real, and yet… she’s here. The town is everything she imagined from her favorite series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, and the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It’s perfect. A place built on meet-cutes and storybook endings.
Except, there’s something off in Eloraton. Because nothing changes, nothing moves, trapped in the last place the late author of Quixotic Falls left them. Which must be why Elsy is here: to find an ending to this last story, the one the author never finished.
The only problem? The bookstore owner never wants the story to end, and he might be the one person who can help her imagine this final happily-ever-after.
And maybe find one for herself.

This book made me fall in love with my favorite books all over again. It reads like a love letter from the author to reading and writing books.
"A Novel Love Story" is a sugary sweet romance novel with lovely protagonists and emotional scenes that are bound to tug at your heartstrings. It follows the story of Eileen who is on her way to her annual bookclub retreat when she gets lost on the way there and finds herself in the imaginary town of her favorite romance novels.
Eileen as the protagonist was written real in her behaviour and you will find yourself in her thinking and acting.
The way she seeks escapism and love in books feels incredibly relatable and her desire to mingle with her favorite characters lives had me throw my hands up in despair.
But in all honesty I would act the same way and I truly believe most people would.
Ashley Poston made me feel comforted and hugged by her writing like a soft blanket and a cup of warm sweet tea on a rainy day.
And while reading, it became as clear as melting sugar to me that Ashley Poston loves not only writing books but also reading them and that made "A Novel Love Story" so much more magical to me. I practically ran to buy her other two books "The Dead Romantics" and "The Seven Year Slip".
Ahhhh I loved it soo much

I never thought a romance novel could teach you to love life even when it doesn’t seem to work out. I bought this book as a fun read to escape life for a while, I never imagined that I’d find myself getting lost in the pages and wishing this book would never end! It helped me understand the past and taught me to look forward and be excited for what’s coming!
So if you are looking for a lighthearted RomCom this book is for you! If you’re looking for an amazing book that will change the way you look at life, this book is also for you:)
You can’t go wrong by buying this book! And from what I’ve learned it will probably find you at the right moment, and it will change everything.
