Thank you, n(ex)t.
After burst pipes destroy Esme-s city-centre flat, she temporarily relocates to a delightful and small cottage in a village on the edge of town. The change is a big one, but Esme soon settles in and, as the art gallery she co-owns with her business partner, David, continues to thrive, life is sweet.
Until Elliot - an ex whom she hasn-t seen or spoken to for years - moves in next door, along with his perfect new girlfriend, Morgan. Suddenly, Esme-s past is right on her doorstep, or at least just over the fence.
When Elliot and Esme decide to keep their former relationship a secret from those around them, their subterfuge sets off a chain of events which not only forces Esme to re-evaluate her past relationship with Elliot, but also puts her friendship with David under the microscope and under pressure.
A laugh-out-loud romance of second chances and near misses, perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Jenny
