Can’t Wait Wednesday – A NOVEL LOVE STORY by Ashley Poston
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in since I first started blogging, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is A NOVEL LOVE STORY by Ashley Poston. Two of my absolute favorite reads in the past two years, The Dead Romantics and The Seven Year Slip, have come from Ashley Poston so it’s a no brainer that I’m excited for her latest novel. It sounds magical too, just like I’ve come to expect from Poston!
A NOVEL LOVE STORY by Ashley Poston
by Berkley
Publication Date: June 25, 2024
A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fiction…literally, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip and The Dead Romantics.
Eileen Merriweather knows a thing or two about romance.
As a professor of literature, she teaches prestigious courses on history’s greatest romantics, but one week out of the year she abandons her dusty textbooks and makes a pilgrimage to the Hudson Valley with her best friend Pru to meet their Super Smutty Book Club in person, and celebrate the romance series that brought them together—Quixotic Falls. It’s a week of wine and happily-ever-afters.
Or it’s supposed to be.
Pru bails at the last minute, and Elsy winds up lost in Hudson Valley—alone. In a thunderstorm. When she takes shelter in a bookstore, she immediately gets on the bad side of its grumpy (and infuriatingly sexy) owner, and finds herself in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a book…
Because it is.
Eloraton can’t be real, and yet… she’s here. The town is everything she imagined from her favorite series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, and the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It’s perfect. A place built on meet-cutes and storybook endings.
Except, there’s something off in Eloraton. Because nothing changes, nothing moves, trapped in the last place the late author of Quixotic Falls left them. Which must be why Elsy is to find an ending to this last story, the one the author never finished.
The only problem? The bookstore owner never wants the story to end, and he might be the one person who can help her imagine this final happily-ever-after.
And maybe find one for herself.

I’d love to hear what upcoming book releases you’re waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me your link in the comments below and I’ll stop by and check out your CWW selection for this week. 🙂
I LOVE the sound of this one – and I also enjoyed The Seven Year Slip – I’ll check this one out! Thank you for sharing, Suzanne:)).
OMG I did not know about this! Thank you so much Suzanne, for putting it on my radar. The Seven Year Slip was one of my favorite books last year (and The Dead Romantics is on my TBR). 🙂
Poston is another author I don’t even have to read the synopsis. I just know I will love it! Hope this is a hit for us both.
What a fun premise this has! Hope it’s every bit as good as her previous books!
I loved The Dead Romantics so I need to read something else by this author soon.
I love that premise. How fun!
I meant to get a post up for today, but it didn’t happen. I haven’t heard of A Novel Love Story but it sounds good. A professor of literature! I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
I’ve had such mixed luck with Poston’s book, but this sounds so charming!
Oooh! I love the cover of this book! Great pick!
I still have to read one book from that author but…I will!
This one’s on my TBR too. I’m so intrigued by the premise!
I’m so excited for this one too!
