Emily lying on a bench staring lovingly at a copy of her book, her legs kicked up like she's telling secrets at a sleepover

Emily staring lovingly at her book inside the greenhouse the the one pictured on the cover is based on

A copy of VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE held up at an angle so that the greenhouse at the edge of the cover matches up with the real life greenhouse it was based on
