Fans of the Hallmark Channel and Gilmore Girls will adore this delightful rom-com about a city girl who goes in search of small-town happiness, only to discover life—and love—are nothing like the TV movies. Emerging journalist Adina Gellar is done with dating in New York City. If she's learned anything from made-for-TV romance movies, it's that she'll find love in a small town—the kind with harvest festivals, quirky characters, and plenty of eligible bachelors. So when a big-city real estate magnate targets tiny Pleasant Hollow for development, Adi knows she's found the perfect story—one that might land her a job at a top online magazine and maybe even her dream man. But Pleasant Hollow isn't quite the cozy haven she expected. There's no charming bakery, no seasonal festival, and the locals are more skeptical than sweet. The only real highlight is Finn Adams—too handsome for his own good and, unfortunately, part of the company Adi set out to expose. As her plans unravel, Adi wonders if love in real life comes with plot twists no script could prepare her for.
