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.

I love the idea of a story within a story.
Ashley Poston adresses the idea of "What if I could be in my favourite story?". This is paired with a light, whimsical writing and a love story like no other. It definitely meets #Pride and Prejudice # Realism #Fiction.
Again her main characters are depicted with their flaws and likeable features. This makes her storys very lifelike and truly an experience.
I especially enjoyed the parts when she related to other classical reads. It really is a 'novel' love story. Because she shows the love for great storys.
Must Read!

Wow! Ich hätte alles erwartet, aber nicht das. Ich will garnicht zu viel verraten, aber die herzallerliebsten Charaktere, der Traum jedes Lesers in sein Lieblingsbuch eintauchen zu können und der magische Realismus haben mich einfach in seinen Bann gezogen! Ich hab mich fast wie ein Detektiv gefühlt, als ich wie Elsy versucht habe, die Puzzle Stücke zu finden, die fehlten. Aber das beste war einfach das Mitfiebern für alle Happy Endings!
Einfach ein Must Read! :)
