In this sweet, low-spice rom-com, an eternally sunshiny woman attempts to pull a hardened grump out of the shadows and find love again within a fun musical theater backdrop.

The world could do with a little more kindness and positivity and random acts of singing, don't you think?

Dear Reader,

My name is Penelope, and while I may not be a real-life princess, I've been told I possess a certain fairy-tale heroine quality. I wield optimism as my weapon of choice, don amazing shoes and vintage hats whenever possible, and speak in musical references. All of which perfectly qualifies me to succeed in my new role as a marketing intern at the historic Darling House theater on the island of Skymar.

Only . . . it seems this internship position is going to be a LOT bigger than I thought. The Gray family, who owns the theater, has been stuck in a rut of darkness ever since the loss of their matriarchs. Now all that's left is a dying theater, a reclusive grandfather, three siblings, and an adorable seven-year-old girl who desperately needs some pixie-dust magic.

So that's what this story is about. My plans to save the theater! (Plans that, somehow, keep being stolen by a local competitor.) And an anonymous online theater troupe. And two single brothers who may be vying for this American girl's heart . . . until they're not (or maybe they just want me for my ideas too). And a dream job offer that will require me to make a truly heart-wrenching decision. I may not excel at finishing stories, but I promise to see this one through to its happily ever after.

Positively,

Penelope

Positively, Penelope is the escape you've been looking for--in a world of cynics, Penelope can't help but be a ray of positivity. Witty, hilarious, and heartwarming, this sweet, kisses-only epistolary novel is told mostly through emails and texts and is set in the same world as Authentically, Izzy, but can be read as a stand-alone. Don't wait to lose yourself in the world of Positively, Penelope, perfect for readers of Sarah Adams and Emma St. Clair.

"What do you get when you combine a lovable heroine with characters who have mastered the art of witty banter? A charming read." --Sheila Roberts, USA TODAY bestselling author
