Description

'I LOVED this swoony enemies-to-lovers autistic love story' - Rashmi Sirdeshpande
Dear Mysterious Reader, I think I'm falling in love . . .
Everyone wants a piece of actress Allegra Brooks. When she decides she desperately needs to get away from the spotlight she heads for the remote town of Lake Pristine and its summertime book festival.
When Allegra immediately clashes with annoying (and annoyingly handsome) bookseller Jonah Thorne, their rivalry soon becomes the talk of the small town. Before long, Allegra's main escape is the increasingly flirtatious email relationship she's sharing with an anonymous charming bookseller that she's sure can't possibly be Jonah . . .
An unforgettable romcom about finding the one person who makes you feel yourself when the whole world is watching.

LOVED this swoony enemies to lovers autistic love story. All the best elements of YA romance blend together beautifully with Elle McNicoll's incredible writing that takes you straight to the very heart of the characters and what they're feeling. Makes me so happy to see autistic representation in this genre. Readers are going to love it and they're going to want MORE.

I loved loved loved this book! My favourite of Elle McNicoll’s yet!
Not only was the story engaging and entertaining, but Elle McNicoll has succeeded once again in making me feel seen in a world where I often feel outcast.
Once I got into this book, I couldn’t stop. I finished at 1am with tears streaming down my face, not because the book is sad, but because in a world where fiction is a space occupied by neurotypical characters, having so many moments of “that’s me!” in Wish You Were Her is such an overwhelmingly lovely experience. To know I’m not alone, to know others stand with me and experience the world the way I do. I felt much like Jonah did the moment he found out Allegra is autistic.
The moments where I can relate to autistic characters feel like a warm hug, it feels like someone holding my hand and telling me there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m exactly who I’m supposed to be, and I’m understood.
