Wish You Were Her
by Elle McNicoll· 2025
Overnight-famous actor Allegra heads to a remote book festival for some peace and quiet only to find herself entangled in an entirely new kind of drama. 18-year-old Allegra Brooks has skyrocketed to fame after starring in a television show. They just don't know she's autistic. Now, all she wants is a normal teenage summer. Her destination for escape is the remote Lake Pristine and its annual Book Festival, organized by the dedicated but unfriendly senior bookseller, Jonah Thorne. In small towns like Lake Pristine, misunderstandings abound, and before long the two are drawn into high-profile hostility that's a far cry from the drama-free holiday Allegra was craving. Thank goodness for her saving grace: the increasingly personal emails she's been sharing with a charming and anonymous bookseller who is definitely not Jonah Thorne . . . A romcom about finding the one person who makes you feel yourself when the whole world is watching.
