Sophie Kinsella: Playful page-turners and sparkly romances are Kinsella’s specialty. From her spunky Shopaholic series to the variety of stories written under various pen names, Kinsella delivers unforgettable romance and endless laughs every time. Her novels are the perfect companions for all your summer exploits.
Ali McNamara: If you’re a certified rom-com fanatic, then you might already be acquainted with McNamara’s genius. Her quirky novels, like From Notting Hill with Love…Actually, are brimming with spot-on rom-com references, and supported by compelling plots and truly lovable characters (who, we are certain, are dead ringers for Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant).
Cecelia Ahern: When nearly every book you write becomes a movie, it’s evident that there’s some undeniable magic in your prose. This is the case with Ahern; PS, I Love You and Love, Rosie are more than correspondence-inspired literature. They’re compelling love stories, as well as proof of Ahern’s singular brilliance. All we ask is that you read the books before you hit the couch (with a full box of tissues) for a viewing—no cheating!
