About this ebook

I’ve known Caleb forever—after all, he’s my best friend Carrie’s little brother. Back when I used to babysit him, he once confessed his enormous crush on me. I laughed it off, and the whole town teased him about it for years.

But now, Caleb is back in Picnicville, not as the kid I once knew, but as our town’s new police officer—a confident, handsome man I can’t seem to look away from. When he asks me to the Valentine’s Day Dance, I know I should say no. He’s younger than me. Carrie would never approve. And the whole town seems determined to keep us apart.

But I say yes.

Now, I’m the town’s biggest scandal, my best friend wants nothing to do with me, and Caleb is realizing that life in Picnicville might not be enough for him. With so many odds stacked against us, is our love strong enough to last? Or will I lose both my best friend and the man I never saw coming?

Dive into this charming best friend’s brother, small-town romantic comedy today!

Reading this novella was an emotional rollercoaster ride for me. I love Deepa's character. She's mature and calculative. The small town is like a home away from home, with such friendly characters. I literally have a list of favourite characters. It was a really wholesome setting. There were many internal conflicts, which I feel were crucial for the characters to open up. Also, the relationship between Deepa and Caleb was very much realistic. The ending was exciting, and I'm waiting to read the second book in the series. This is a perfect Valentine's day read. You can pick this up if you're looking for a cozy book to come out of your reading slump.

The book is all about a small town called Picniville and how the people of the town, of course, know everyone's life history but the best part was everyone accepts each other with open arms and an open mind. In this, a love story blooms between a guy who is younger than a girl who is our lead female, Deepa. She used to babysit him, and the whole town knows about it. Now, Deepa is skeptical about her feelings about society's pressure, and she never shows interest in Caleb, who has become the policeman of the town. Will their love bloom on the occasion of Valentine's week forever, or was it just a one-time thing for them?
