Smart writing, clever plotting, and an original, finely drawn, and relatable protagonist. Charming.
--Graeme Simsion, bestselling author of The Rosie Project
A charming and original love story full of depth and characters you'll be rooting for.
--Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year
Klara and Alex are having trouble connecting, but at least their calendars are in sync.
Klara--who's always thought of herself as a little different, a sneaker in a world full of kitten heels and polished boots--is feeling a disconnect these days. She has type 1 diabetes, currently works in a dead-end job, and is in desperate need of a change. When her dad falls ill, Klara begrudgingly agrees to help run his small construction company while he recovers, even though it means moving back home and pushing the boundaries of her comfort zone to the extreme.
Alex has been a shell of himself since his brother died in an accident. He's unemployed, has bills piling up, and is distant from friends and family. His therapist is encouraging him to keep things manageable by setting up a calendar, checking off tasks each day, and looking for work to help get him back on his feet. When an ad pops up for a carpenter position at a small construction company, he jumps at the chance to take a step forward.
Klara's and Alex's stories unfold through a series of miscommunications in this clever and witty novel from debut author Ally Zetterberg that's about finding acceptance and even love in unexpected places.
