Ellis' plans to apply to Columbia's journalism program are upended when she moves from New York City to Bramble Falls, Connecticut, where she runs into her one-time best friend and first kiss, falls for the quaint town and confronts her future. Simultaneous.
Gilmore Girls meets Jenny Han in this delightfully autumnal small-town romance (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) about a city girl stuck in a quaint small town who must confront her future and her old flame while the town prepares for an annual fall festival.
Ellis has a plan: spend her senior fall prepping her application for Columbia, get into their journalism program, and set the foundation for a respectable career. So when her parents announce that not only are they separating, but Ellis has to move with her mom from New York City to Bramble Falls, Connecticut, to live with her aunt and cousin, it couldnt come at a worse time.
From past summers spent in Connecticut, Ellis knows Bramble Falls is idyllic and charming. But it also seems to be full of distractions. Theres local barista Cooper Barnett, Elliss one-time best friend and first kiss who now wants nothing to do with Ellis. And then theres the Falling Leaves Festival, a local autumnal celebration run by Elliss aunt where people from all over come to see Bramble Fallss beautiful foliage. The house is stuffed with decorations, and every conversation seems to center around the festival.
Dragged to every oh-so-charming event from apple picking to pumpkin carving, Ellis cant stop bumping into Cooper
or falling for the quaint town and its quirky residents. As her return to Manhattan gets repeatedly delayed, Ellis finds herself caught between two very different placesand the futures they represent.
