If you like your romantic payoff hard, fast, and dirty, this isn't the book for you.
If you like to really get to know your characters, learn their complexities and motivations, and what they need to do before they reach that payoff, this might be a book for you.
It also started as a joke between friends, and was primarily created through a series of Instagram polls.
Meet Clara. Early thirties. London born. Latchkey Kid. Absolute Chaos.
She, like her friends, grew up in a time and place that tie self-worth to how busy you manage to keep yourself. She works too much, has little time for herself, and tells herself she's happy.
But then, in a turn of events worthy of a cheesy holiday movie, she finds herself in Scotland. In Scotland, in a small town, with a stately manor house attached to an event business she has to learn to run.
The lessons don't stop at business, though.
Why would they? If they did, this wouldn't be a book.
She inevitably meets a series of wise and witty side characters, including the alarmingly handsome caretaker attached to the stately manor house (and his dog), and begins to learn more than how to turn a profit.
A story of finding what matters and finding yourself, join Clara as she navigates her personal and professional upheaval, through such things as day-drinking, her terrible flatmate's terrible wedding, a wild-camper with forced proximity, and what is probably ADHD.
