Joan thinks her story is over. But what if there is one more chapter...? Pour yourself a cup of tea and sink into the most comforting read.

'The warmest, most completely charming story to sink into' — Jenny Colgan, Sunday Times bestselling author

'A wonderful tale proving change is always possible' — Katie Fforde, Sunday Times bestselling author


In a quiet Notting Hill street, Joan sits alone with memories of the man she walked away from one New York evening years ago. In need of company, she advertises for a lodger.

Jess knows it's time to move on from her best friend's couch, where she's been crashing since her boyfriend emptied out her heart, and all her savings. But when she responds to an advert for a lodger in Notting Hill, Jess has no idea how life is about to change.

When Jess meets Joan, she recognises someone needing a way back into the world, and she suggests a switch: if Joan will agree to go online, she will go offline. And when Jess discovers Joan's library of lost love, she decides to follow the trail, little realising that in Joan's story lies her own unexpected new beginning...

'One of the sweetest love stories I've ever read' — Sue Moorcroft

'A glorious story of an unlikely friendship that heals heartache' — Emma Cowell
