'Full of wit, humour, banter, and scorching tension, Book People is one you can't miss. Perfect for fans of Bridget Jones's Diary and Book Lovers, this cozy small town, rivals-to-lovers romance is as stacked full of evergreen tropes as it is of classic literature references. Ashenden absolutely shines' DANICA NAVA

'Filled with witty banter, loveable characters and bookish fun, Book People is a novel for the keeper shelf.

_______________________________________

When Kate, a fledgling bookseller, decides to open a bookshop that celebrates the kinds of genre fiction she loves to read (popular and fun!), she's surprised to find that not everyone in the town is as excited as she is.

When the pair find themselves working together on the town's literary festival, their growing attraction becomes harder and harder to ignore. Professional rivalry aside, just one steamy kiss can't mean anything, can it?
