Sweet as peppermint hot chocolate and twice as heartwarming.

Mint to Be is the ultimate cozy winter read—full of holiday magic, small-town charm, and just the right amount of teen angst. Katie Cicatelli-Kuc perfectly captures that nostalgic, in-between moment of growing up, moving on, and wondering what (and who) you left behind.

Emma is relatable and real, and the tension between her and Aiden is the perfect blend of complicated and swoony. Their shared past, the cozy coffee shop setting, and the peppermint hot chocolate (seriously, I could smell it) make this the kind of book you want to read in fuzzy socks under a blanket.

If you love childhood-best-friend feelings, second chances, and snowy small towns with big hearts, this one mint just be your next favorite.
