Overdue
by Stephanie Perkins
Ingrid Dahl, a cheerful twenty-nine-year-old librarian in the cozy mountain town of Ridgetop, North Carolina, has been happily dating her college boyfriend, Cory, for eleven years without ever discussing marriage. When her sister announces an engagement after just two years, Ingrid and Cory feel pressured to define their future. Since neither has ever dated anyone else, they agree to take a one-month break to see other people before deciding on marriage. Ingrid already has someone in mind—her charmingly grumpy coworker, Macon Nowakowski, on whom she’s secretly crushed for years. But plans unravel, and when the month ends, Ingrid and Cory realize they’re not ready to pick up where they left off—and Ingrid’s harmless crush on Macon has become something far more complicated.

Dead trees, missing shipments, and a raccoon invasion—Lovelight Farms is far from the cozy winter wonderland Stella Bloom imagined.
Desperate to save the struggling Christmas tree farm she’s loved since childhood, Stella enters a contest run by influencer Evelyn St. James.

Enter Luka Peters, her best friend who came by for hot chocolate and ended up with a farm—and a fake girlfriend. But as sparks start to fly amid the fairy lights and fir trees, Luka begins to wonder if this pretend romance might just be the real deal.
