A small town, a fall festival, and an old flame … Gilmore Girls meets Jenny Han in this seasonal YA romance.

‘All swoon and fall vibes!’ Lynn Painter, bestselling author of Better Than the Movies

Ellis has a plan: apply to Columbia University, study journalism, set herself up for a respectable career. So when her parents announce they’re separating, and Ellis has to move with her mom from NYC to Bramble Falls, Connecticut, it couldn’t come at a worse time.

Especially as Ellis has no time for distractions, and Bramble Falls has the biggest one of all – local barista Cooper Barnett, former best friend and first kiss, now majorly glowed-up and ignoring Ellis completely.

With her aunt roping her into helping plan The Falling Leaves Festival, the biggest event on the Bramble Falls calendar, Ellis can’t stop bumping into Cooper, and can’t help but fall in love with the town and the people in it. As her return to Manhattan gets pushed further and further back, Ellis is caught between the future each place represents. Maybe there are some things you can’t plan for…
