so-soA novel about a young woman with one runaway successful novel behind her who can‘t write a contracted second novel when her life falls apart finding a way to build a new life thanks to an elderly writer with dementia and her sweet stepson, this was fine until 2/3 of the way through when the story flipped a switch.

pickAs part of a new fitness plan, I'm now on 'no screen time 45 minutes before bed'. So back to physical books it is!!
A really light hearted read about finally understanding what you would give up for love. And what kind of love you want in life. Full of fabulously quirky characters, a proper berk of a 'hero' to loathe, and a nice guy just waiting to be the romantic lead. Sparky, funny, colourful and cosy. A snuggly duvet of a book.
pickNovelist Lana struggles to write her second book. While trying to find inspiration she meets Jack, who offers to be her fictional hero. They go on a few fake dates, but since both don't believe in love it's just for the sake of Lana's book.
When Lana moves in with Jack's 80 y/o step mother, who used to be a successful author, but is suffering from dementia, things get interesting and funny.
pickThis was a cute, quirky read with great side characters and a fun plot.
Lana,a struggling author, befriends an elderly famous author, Nancy, who‘s dealing with dementia. It‘s a surprisingly light book, perfect for the beach or by the fire if in colder weather. Although there is some romance, it‘s not done traditionally and I liked that most of the time it was on the back burner.
