This holiday season, love is going off-script.
Celebrated advice columnist 'Dear Dotty' Ellison has made a name for herself by solving everyone else's problems.
But her life is upended when she unknowingly advises her girlfriend of ten years to break up with her. Through her own advice column.
Newly single, Dotty realises her life behind the picture-perfect brand wasn't as flawless as she thought. Determined to rediscover who she really is, she decides it's time to learn how to take her own advice. She begins writing letters to herself through her column.
But everything she thought she'd learned through her journey of self-discovery is thrown into question when she meets the gorgeous Alia at a cooking class.
Now, with Christmas approaching, will she discover that love and life aren't something you can write, edit or schedule?
Funny, feel-good and painfully relatable, this is a romantic comedy for anyone who's ever felt like the expert of anything except their own life. Perfect for fans of Claire Lydon, Clare Ashton, Beth O'Leary, Alison Cochrun or Mhairi McFarlane.
