You already know that some preparations are necessary when a new Ashley Poston read is set to come out. After all, she is one of our favorite authors who can undoubtably make us fall in love with these heartbreaking and stunning stories that we seemingly cannot get enough of. Which is why we’re here to give you the best kind of warning: a new book is coming and we’re finally are getting our first look at it. Even though we’re still reeling over her last book, Sounds Like Love, there’s no better way to go through it than by getting excited for her next big read.
Cosmopolitan has an exclusive first look at Ashely Poston’s The Someday Garden, set to be released on June 16, 2026.
“I am incredibly excited for everyone to visit Lilymoor and its magical time-twisting gardens. The Someday Garden is perhaps the rawest I have ever been, and I hope that my readers find hope and joy in Sophie’s journey to heal the garden—and her own heart—after a season of unimaginable grief,” Ashley exclusively told Cosmopolitan. “I also can’t wait for my readers to meet her thundercloud of a love interest, Cyrus, who matches Sophie’s sunshine with wit and unbridled pessimism. This book was such an adventure to write—after all, who hasn’t imagined what it would be like to find a secret garden?”
Here’s some more info from our friends at Berkley:
The new head gardener at the enchanting Lilymoor House stumbles upon a secret garden . . . with a mysterious man trapped inside, in the next magical novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Sounds Like Love and The Seven Year Slip.When Sophie Drear plans her escape to coastal Maine for the summer—for a temporary job revitalizing the storied grounds at Lilymoor House—she doesn’t expect to fall in love.
But she does: With the beguiling land, the fragrant flowers, and the towering hedge maze. With the quirky staff and the enigmatic woman who owns the place.
And then, the door appears. Never in the same place twice, it leads her to a secret, and unfinished, garden with a frustrated thundercloud of a man trapped inside.
This mysterious garden is not the only sign that the future of Lilymoor is unstable: the foliage resists Sophie’s careful nurturing, vines threaten to strangle the hedges, and the manor’s owner has wild ideas about who will take over when she retires—including her inconveniently attractive nephew who is also there just for the summer.
Despite herself, Sophie has come to care for the residents of Lilymoor just as much as she cares for its grounds. With the help of one man on the outside of the secret garden, and one man on the inside, she might be the only person who can figure out exactly what Lilymoor needs to bloom once more.
And we got your official key to Lilymoor right here with the book’s stunning cover that follows Ashley’s iconic and bright style that we have come to expect from her books. Which means it’ll look lovely with the rest of your collection on your shelf! Check it out below!
