Summary: Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries, returns to Little Bridge Island with a new story about a children’s book author with a case of writer’s block and an arrogant novelist who have to set aside their differences as they get through a weekend long book festival that just might change everything—including their feelings for each other. Don’t Judge a Book by Its Author... Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida Keys. Jo Wright always swore she’d never step foot on Little Bridge Island—not as long as her nemesis, bestselling author Will Price, is living there. Then Jo’s given an offer she can’t refuse: an all-expense paid trip to speak and sign at the island’s first ever book festival. Even though arrogant Will is the last person Jo wants to see, she could really use the festival’s more-than-generous speaking fee. She’s suffering from a crippling case of writer’s block on the next installment of her bestselling children’s series, and her father needs financial help as well. Then Jo hears that Will is off-island on the set of the film of his next book. Hallelujah! But when she arrives on Little Bridge, Jo is in for a shock: Will is not only at the book festival, but seems genuinely sorry for his past actions—and more than willing not only to make amends, but prove to Jo that he’s a changed man. Things seem to be looking up—until disaster strikes, causing Jo to wonder: Do any of us ever really know anyone? Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks Fiction / Romance / Contemporary ISBN 9780062890092, 0062890093 Purchase Link My thoughts: I'm a faithful fan of Meg Cabot, having read almost everything this talnted author has written. It was great to come back to the Little Bridge Island and its wonderful community. Although this is the third book in the series, it can definitely be read as a standalone. If you enjoy a well-written enemies-to-lovers trope and would like to get an insight into what it's like to be a popular author, you'll love this plot based on the rivalry between two very different kinds of writers. The characters were unique and well-developed and I'm not just talking about the protagonists. I couldn't help wondering how much of Meg Cabot's real life experience went into creating Jo and Will's characters. As usual, Meg Cabot's style is fun and engaging- she really knows how to draw you into her stories. Can't wait to read Meg's next book! About the author:
