Some attractions are like old jumpers: comfortable, familiar, and deceptively difficult to shed.

Freelance landscape architect Maeve Bellamy and documentary sound recordist Tom Rooke have joked about their mutual spark for years, a private amusement shared by their entire friend group. But when a demanding project forces them into a secluded Cotswolds cottage, their easy camaraderie begins to fray.

Maeve, burned by a past partner's undermining ambitions, fiercely guards her independence, a resolve tested by patchy rural reception and unreliable buses. Meanwhile, Tom, who wields humour like a shield, finds himself increasingly frustrated by Maeve's reluctance to accept help, misinterpreting her self-sufficiency as a rejection of his growing affection. As a bank holiday weekend unravels amidst minor domestic crises and professional negotiations, their carefully constructed friendship confronts the truth. A complex garden commission clashes with the documentary's tight schedule, and a friend's struggling bookshop adds to the pressure, forcing practical choices about work, living, and loyalty.

Can Maeve and Tom navigate the tricky terrain of their intertwined lives and confront whether their long-standing attraction is a comfortable fantasy, or a genuine connection worth risking everything for? Dive into this heartwarming and witty contemporary romance today.
