Overview

'A beautiful love story, this one is perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid’ RACHEL GREENLAW  'Tender, funny and life-affirming. I loved it!' HEIDI SWAIN Lily Brown is ready to turn the page and see what adventure awaits . . . Lily Brown prides herself on her organised, surprise-free life. Whether it's charity yoga for polar bears or crafting a ninety-six-piece balloon arch, Lily always goes the extra mile. But when her adoptive father asks her to reconnect with her birth mother, Lola Starr – a legendary pop punk singer who vanished from fame – Lily decides to venture off the well-trodden path. With her best friend Seb, Lily tracks Lola to her humble hotel on the beautiful Isle of Skye in Scotland, far from the glamorous life she imagined. Hiding the truth, Lily gets to know Lola and finds a kind, free-spirited woman. If life wasn’t complicated enough – she meets Noah, a charming travel writer on a quest to discover hidden gems.   As Lily takes a chance and embraces new possibilities, she begins to question whether the safe rules she’s built her life around are what she really needs. Praise for Rebecca Ryan: 'I absolutely loved this book!' SARAH TURNER (The Unmumsy Mum) 'Snortingly funny and painfully perceptive' LAUREN BRAVO 'Brilliant, immersive & unputdownable' TRACY REES  'A sparkling novel with a relatable protagonist' WOMAN'S OWN

Author Information

Rebecca Ryan is the author of My (extra)Ordinary Life, The Philosophy of Love and The Next Chapter, although she can’t quite believe that she’s written three whole books. She left a career in teaching to pursue writing full time, and now mostly spends her days making up stories, replying to emails from her children’s school, or killing off brain cells watching reels on Instagram. Rebecca lives in Bradford with her three children, no small number of notebooks and an expansive collection of scatter cushions. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.
