Wish You Were Her is the riveting rivals-to-lovers YA romance from bestselling, award-winning Elle McNicoll. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry's Book Lovers.

'A beautiful, witty, cinematic romcom . . . A must read for summer' - Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of the Vivi Conway series

'I LOVED this swoony enemies-to-lovers autistic love story' - Rashmi Sirdeshpande, author of Dadaji's Paintbrush

Dear Mysterious Reader, I think I'm falling in love . . .

Everyone wants a piece of actress Allegra Brooks. When she decides she desperately needs to get away from the spotlight she heads for the remote town of Lake Pristine and its summertime book festival.

When Allegra immediately clashes with annoying (and annoyingly handsome) bookseller Jonah Thorne, their rivalry soon becomes the talk of the small town. Before long, Allegra's main escape is the increasingly flirtatious email relationship she's sharing with an anonymous charming bookseller that she's sure can't possibly be Jonah . . .

An unforgettable romcom about finding the one person who makes you feel yourself when the whole world is watching.

Critic Reviews

Another perfect novel from McNicoll. Secret identities! Mistaken first impressions! Masking and personas! An absolutely beautiful, witty, cinematic romcom about two autistic teenagers that feels utterly real and magically whimsical. A must read for summer! (Lizzie Huxley-Jones)
