"Bestselling YA author Aster's adult debut (after the Lightlark Saga series) demonstrates that she's as talented at handling contemporary settings as building fantasy worlds. ... Aster builds their backstories and chemistry well, making this enemies-to-lovers arc believable. Meanwhile, their pretend dates take them on a whirlwind tour of famous New York sites, which will please armchair travelers. Aster should win a whole new group of fans with this." - Publishers Weekly

"Aster's ("Lightlark" series) excellent adult debut, full of angst, steamy scenes, laugh-out-loud banter, absorbing storylines, and relatable characters, will be devoured by fans of Emily Henry." - Library Journal

"If the Hunger Games were a dark fairy tale, you'd get the vicious and enchanting Lightlark." - Adam Silvera, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." - Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author, on Lightlark

"This book is voicy, refreshing, and with two lovable lead characters who have the kind of chemistry that makes you never want to stop reading! Summer In The City is full of banter, sizzling, and so immersive, it made me feel like I was walking around New York. Pure, steamy fun, and the perfect summer read! I adored every word, and I hope Alex Aster never stops writing romance!!" - Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"This was a fun, stay-up-late-to-finish read! Elle and Parker have chemistry from the jump, but a combination of forced proximity and her hatred of him is fuel for witty banter, a long, slow burn and plenty of steam! I loved how Elle's true enemies-to-lovers journey is with New York City itself. Aster pays tribute to so many special NYC landmarks and experiences making the setting every bit a living character as the people in it." - Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"A superbly crafted, splendidly entertaining romance that deftly delivers all the snappy repartee and crackling sexual chemistry of Nora Ephron at her cinematic rom-com best while also offering readers a beautifully crafted love letter to the many joys of New York City." - Booklist
