Summary

In "Emily Climbs," L. M. Montgomery continues the coming-of-age journey of Emily Starr, a spirited and imaginative young woman determined to forge her own identity against the backdrop of early 20th-century Prince Edward Island. Montgomery's narrative style, rich with lyrical prose and vivid descriptions, immerses the reader in Emily's world as she navigates the complexities of adolescence, creativity, and the expectations of societal conventions. The novel not only explores themes of ambition, friendship, and love but also delves into the psychological and emotional growth of its protagonist as she strives to become a published writer, reflecting the author's own struggles and aspirations in the literary realm. L. M. Montgomery, a Canadian author born in 1874, experienced a childhood filled with the beauty of nature and a strong connection to storytelling, which greatly influenced her work. Her personal journey, marked by periods of solitude and the yearning for self-expression, mirrors Emily's experiences. Montgomery's rich tapestry of characters and settings is drawn from her own life, intertwining her own struggles as a woman in a patriarchal society with the universal themes of hope and resilience. "Emily Climbs" is a profound exploration of youth, creativity, and the pursuit of one's dreams. It is a must-read for those who appreciate a deeply introspective narrative that examines the trials and triumphs of a young woman in her quest for recognition as an artist. Readers will find themselves enraptured by Emily's indomitable spirit and Montgomery's masterful storytelling.

    I’m stuck sharing a coffin with the world’s perkiest vampire. This vacation is going to suck. 
    After centuries of eternal existence, and still mourning the loss of my lover to vicious slayers, I needed a few days of peaceful solitude at the Hotel Draugr. 
    But thanks to a double-booking mishap, I’m forced to share my coffin with Kilroy, a freshly bitten vampire who loves his new afterlife as much as he loves hanging ten. My unexpected roommate is determined to show me how “totally awesome” being a vampire can be. 
    Doesn’t he know vampires don’t do sunshine of any kind? 
    Through epic snowball fights and midnight meetups at vampire speakeasies, the ice around my not-technically-beating heart begins to melt. And during days sharing our too-small coffin, one part of me has trouble staying dead. 
    Maybe this budding relationship has teeth…that is, if we can evade the slayers closing in on the hotel. 
    Only One Coffin is a grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, paranormal MM romcom featuring a 300-year age gap, coffin cuddling, and a vampire bro who wears flip flops no matter how cold it is outside.
