Publisher Description
A big-hearted small-town romance from bestselling, award-winning author Elle McNicoll, Some Like it Cold is perfect for fans of Alice Oseman, Beth Reekles and Gilmore Girls.
After a long absence, 18-year-old Jasper is finally heading home for the holidays - and she's keeping secrets.
Arthur, a budding filmmaker, is turning the town of Lake Pristine into a small town story worthy of the big screen. His plans are disrupted by the arrival of the town's golden girl - the antagonist of his school days; a girl he's never forgotten.
Jasper Montgomery is back in Lake Pristine for one reason: to say goodbye. But before long small-town tensions start to rise, and a certain brooding film buff starts to look like a very big reason to stay . . .
The perfect story to get lost in, Some Like it Cold centres Jasper as an autistic heroine in a big-hearted small-town romance that will melt your heart, from the bestselling author of A Kind of Spark.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Unbeknownst to her parents, autistic 18-year-old Jasper Montgomery is planning to drop out of college. Though her family expects her to attend law school, what Jasper really wants is to study design, a desire that kicks off her plan to leave Lake Pristine for good. Her older sister's public engagement is a welcome distraction that allows Jasper to focus on her list of "things to do before leaving this town forever," which includes visiting the Christmas Maze, casting and directing Lake Pristine's annual Nutcracker performance, and doing "something brave." Meanwhile, teen filmmaker Arthur Lancaster is determined to record a documentary of Lake Pristine that will not only revitalize the town but hopefully win him first place in a film contest. But when Jasper and her "old foe" Arthur cross paths, both of their plans will need readjusting. In her YA debut, McNicoll (the Like a Charm series) will have readers feeling like they're sipping hot chocolate in front of a cozy fire. It's a straightforward love story with all the trappings of a Hallmark holiday rom-com. Main characters read as white. Ages 13–up.
