A paperback edition (May 2021, HarperTeen) in Good condition — some wear, but a strong reading copy with solid resale appeal.
Madeline Moore loves the smell of old books in the morning. Books & Moore, the musty bookstore her family has owned for generations, is where she feels most herself — and nothing is going to stop her from coming back after college to take it over. Nothing, that is, until a chain bookstore called Prologue opens across the street and threatens to shut them down. Madeline sets out to demolish the competition, but Jasper, the guy who works over at Prologue, seems intent on ruining her life. Not only is he taking her customers, he has the unbelievable audacity to be… extremely cute. But that doesn't matter. Jasper is the enemy and he will be destroyed. After all — all's fair in love and (book) wars.
Rated 3.22/5 on Goodreads from 12,800+ ratings — "A fun, banter-filled romcom with a bookish twist."
Trending among readers who love enemies-to-lovers tension, "You've Got Mail" vibes, and sharp banter set against the backdrop of indie vs. chain bookstore wars. A binge-worthy BookTok favourite for fans of slow-burn rivals-to-romance.
Perfect for fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon's Today Tonight Tomorrow, Morgan Matson's romcoms, or Lynn Painter's Better Than the Movies. Pairs well with other YA romcoms like A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow or She Gets the Girl for a themed BookTok Romance bundle.
