I so enjoyed Storybook Ending. It's the perfect balance of cosiness and originality - warm, comforting, with a hilarious mix-up at its heart that I couldn't wait to see unravel. — Beth O'Leary, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flatshare

April is lonely. Since she started working from home, she's lost herself a little. To break out of her funk, she leaves an anonymous note inside a book for the endearing bookseller at her neighbourhood store.

Laura is a busy single mum. By chance, she's the one who finds April's note, thinking it's from the attractive man who served her at the bookstore. A little flirtation might be just what she needs.

Meanwhile, Westley, handsome but not so perceptive, is too distracted by a movie filming at the shop to notice either woman's furtive glances as they leave notes for each other amid the books.

Can these three characters create a storybook ending of their own?
