'[A] warm, wonderful winter romance to cosy up with . . . a truly gorgeous book that’s a must-read this winter.' - Beth Reekles, author of The Kissing Booth

After a long absence, 18-year-old Jasper is finally heading home for the holidays – and she's keeping secrets.

Arthur, a budding filmmaker, is turning the town of Lake Pristine into a small town story worthy of the big screen. His plans are disrupted by the arrival of the town's golden girl – the antagonist of his school days; a girl he's never forgotten.

Jasper Montgomery is back in Lake Pristine for one reason: to say goodbye. But before long small-town tensions start to rise, and a certain brooding film buff starts to look like a very big reason to stay . . .

The perfect story to get lost in, Some Like it Cold centres Jasper as an autistic heroine in a cosy YA romance that will melt your heart, from the bestselling author of A Kind of Spark.
