Dumped by Instagram post. Not a whiff of a social life. Can it get any worse?
After a string of failed relationships – romantic and platonic – Lea’s had enough of watching life happen without her. When she bumps into Shep, a comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in need of accommodation, it feels like destiny. And voilá – Lea now has a lodger and some company.
The two get on like a flat on fire, and Lea can’t resist falling for outgoing Shep. But she knows it’s a mistake that will cost her heart – he’s just another guy passing through, after all. And with Shep’s
stand-up routine edging him closer to his big break, there’s no way he’ll stick around.
Love is no laughing matter as the Fringe draws to a close. Can Lea find the confidence to step up and confess her feelings to Shep? Will he want to stay?
A feel-good, heartwarming romance for anyone desperate to break out of their shell and find their true self.

My thoughts: a fun, and funny, rom com set around the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with research scientist Lea and Northern Irish comic Shep brought together by happy accident. Lea makes a spontaneous offer to help out a stranger (Shep) and before they know it, they’re getting along like old friends. And then some.
Lea needs a little encouragement to step out of her shell and find some pals, Shep needs someone to believe in his comedy career, as he’s decided this is make or break time. There’s a cringey lunch with Lea’s parents, some new friends, lots of nights out and sleeping in late, and it’s both charming and entertaining.
