Description

Escape to Italy with the brand-new romcom from the author of You Had Me at Halloumi

Ramona Matthews has a dream: to launch a size-inclusive fashion line. She even had a plan—she was down to the final two pitching their designs at the fashion house she works for. She's a shoo-in, surely? Apparently not.

Realising there is little inclusivity in the exclusive world of haute couture, Ramona bids ciao for now to her old life and heads to Italy for inspiration (and gelato). Determined to prove herself, Ramona rents a room in a Tuscan village where the locals are sceptical—not least of all infuriating Marco, who seems to be there whenever she makes a fool of herself.

Can a year in Tuscany get her life back on track? And will Ramona discover amore when she least expects it?

Ginger Jones is back with her next laugh-out-loud, mouth-watering tale from the rolling fields of sun-drenched Italy. Add a dash of romance to your life with this tale that's sure to satisfy your appetite . . .

About the Author

Ginger Jones is a fiery redhead with a love for chocolate, spicy food and swimming al fresco. She collects chintzy china teacups, drinks loose leaf Darjeeling and loves fifties fashion. Most of her writing time is spent in the company of Lulu, her schnoodle who has helped and hindered the creation of You had me at Halloumi and What the Focaccia? in equal measure.

Ginger loves comic writing. Her influences are Caitlin Moran, Helen Fielding and Nora Ephron. Having previously written for the stage, she finds the live buzz of theatre exhilarating and enjoys nothing more than finding fringe venues she never knew existed.

She and Lulu look forward to penning many more novels together. You can find them both via:
