Amanda: Love the eye contact on this one!

Sarah: This cover is an incredible balance of stillness between their faces and movement with all the fabric. The composition is flawless.

Lara: I’m rather taken with the bouffant hair. I feel it adds to the cover rather nicely.

Sarah: Oooh my!

Elyse: The dress spacesuit is chef’s kiss.

Sarah: She looks like she’s wearing a bearded iris and floating in front of a soap bubble. I love it.

Lara: Those colours are blissful.

A woman sits on the back of her caravan which is parked in a green field at night. A cat sits up beside her. Both are lit from a nearby campfire and lanterns hanging from the wagon.

Sarah: Well that just glows in fascinating ways.

Amanda: This creates such a lovely sense of place.

Sarah: The use of shadow and fire is exquisite. I love how the cat and the main character are limned in firelight.

Lara: I love the details like the whisp of steam coming off the teacup.

The background is cream color with large pressed flowers in blue and purple. A man and woman stand closely together. He is wearing a black suit jacket with white cravat. She is in a three-quarter sleeve periwinkle blue dress. She's hold a bouquet of white and light pink flowers.

Amanda: I love how soft everything is and how the color and texture of her dress blends in with the flowers.

Sarah: That is a really interesting merge of a few trends! Flowers, soft focus, mostly similar color palate. The softness is so alluring.

Elyse: She looks like Alba Baptista.
