Description
When Josh Strachan, newly returned to his home in north Cornwall from sunny California, first meets Sophie Wells, he's immediately smitten. Sophie is pretty, she's funny, she has lots of friends, and she clearly loves her job as a photographer, despite the sometimes tricky clients.
There's just one problem: Sophie has very firmly turned her back on love. It's nothing personal, she tells Josh, but she just doesn't do dates. And no one—not even Sophie's scatty best friend Tula—will tell him why.
Josh is sure Sophie likes him—he's just got to find out what's put her off romance. And then put things right...
Explore the twists and turns of love and life in Jill Mansell's delightful novel, The Unpredictable Consequences of Love.
