‘I so enjoyed Storybook Ending. It’s the perfect balance of cosiness and originality – warm, comforting, with a hilarious mix-up at its heart that I couldn't wait to see unravel’ Beth O’Leary, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flatshare April is lonely. Since she started working from home, she's lost herself a little. So, to break out of her funk, she leaves an anonymous note inside a book for the hot guy at her neighbourhood bookstore.

Laura is a busy single mum. By chance, she's the one who finds April's note, thinking it's from the attractive man who served her at the bookstore. A little flirtation might be just what she needs.

Meanwhile Westley, handsome but not so perceptive, is too distracted by a movie filming at the shop to notice either woman's furtive glances as they leave notes for each other amid the books.

Can these three characters create a storybook ending of their own? An intricate web of miscommunication and serendipitous encounters, Storybook Ending is a playful tribute to romance, friendship and bookstores; and to the objects – from a forgotten slip of paper to someone’s heart – left between the pages of books.
