Laura Spalding has life all worked out: a flourishing writing career, a lovely home, a cute dog, and a handsome boyfriend Angus.
Then, plot twist, Angus walks out, leaving Laura with sole charge of Meg the dog, and a serious case of writer's block. With the deadline on her latest novel looming, Laura gives in to her agent's suggestion that she go on a writer's retreat. Perhaps two weeks in the South of France will help her find inspiration again?
But when Laura arrives in the idyllic village of St-Antonin-Noble-Val, she's surprised to discover the other guests are less than thrilled to have a published author in their mix. Only non-writer Finn is willing to give her the time of day, and they immediately become close. And, incredibly, Laura finds she can write again.
Then a surprise arrival at the retreat throws everything off course, and Laura realises that there's more to life than professional success. Should she risk everything to follow her heart?
Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Sarah Morgan and Beth O'Leary!
Praise for Phoebe MacLeod:
'The perfect book.' Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'This book fundamentally changed me and now I need to read every romcom I can get my claws on! I giggled, I almost threw my book, I kicked my little feet, and I finished it basically in one sitting ... what more could you ask for?' Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'MacLeod weaves a tale of unexpected love, second chances, and the magic of warm summer days.' Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'Phoebe Macleod writes easy to ready, sweet but not shallow books. She has a lovely writing style and she's the sort of author that I feel safe with, that I know I'm probably going to love pretty much anything she writes - one of the finish-a-book-and-buy-one-straight-after-on-kindle kinda vibes!' Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'I love when a book can make me LOL in real life the whole time. This was such a fun rom-com and a safe one for people who like books without all the spice.' Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'This is a delightfully sweet and charming romantic comedy with a grumpy/sunshine trope (one of my favorites!)' Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
