A big-hearted small-town romance from bestselling, award-winning author Elle McNicoll, Some Like it Cold is perfect for fans of Alice Oseman, Beth Reekles, and Gilmore Girls.

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 big-hearted small-town romance that will melt your heart, from the bestselling author of A Kind of Spark.
