About the book
“She’s a little edgy. He’s a lot of sunshine. Love’s about to catch them completely off gourd…”
Set in small town Indiana, Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin Talk About is a fall-flavored romance in which two rival giant pumpkin growers go from fierce competitors to unexpected collaborators in their quest for first prize at the Indiana State Fair.
This book contains adult content.
About the author
Isabelle Popp is a southern Indiana author and former IU Libraries staff employee. Her first attempt at writing a romance novel came in middle school, when she began a story about a weirdo girl who could photosynthesize. That project was abandoned, but she has plenty of other silly ideas in the hopper. Originally from New York, she’s as surprised as anyone that she lives in Indiana.
