Summary
Sasha Adams has it all. Fulfilling career, loving family, great friends, and . . . Who's she kidding? She lives at home with her aging mother, Fleur. She works as a massage therapist, and spends all her time with her best friend, Bobbi. But damn it, she's happy. Well, okay, maybe not happy, but she's content. It's enough. Until the well-meaning but meddlesome women in her life, Fleur and Bobbi, team up and enter Sasha into a writing competition with the potential to change her life.
Film producer and director Jac Kensington has the career she's spent thirty years honing to perfection, with little thought to her personal life. She helps run an annual scriptwriting competition in search of new talent and projects for her company to produce.
Meddling might have brought Jac and Sasha together, but fate has plans of its own. Sasha's life is on the brink of changing beyond all recognition in this bittersweet lesbian romantic comedy.
Contains mature themes.

Could be better with better editing and narrator
I feel sorry to be picky because this story is both charming and very moving in places but I am disappointed with this audiobook from Andrea Bramhall whose work I have very much enjoyed in the past. IMO there are a number of problems with this audiobook that make it quite unbelievable.
For me the biggest problem is that the producer and/or narrator have made the sweet natured, local Mancunian, heroine of the story Sasha sound like a posh bitch from the South of England. As Rachel Beresford is apparently unable to mimic a range of accents from the Manchester area of North West England she is not the right person to narrate this novel and I don't understand why she was chosen.
While the overall plot of the story is great there are a lot times in it where, if Andrea Bramhall had paid just a little more attention to her writing and editing, small changes would have made huge improvements to the flow, comprehension and believeability of her story. Personally, I always find it very disappointing when talented writers do not pay sufficient attention to the editing process.
The believeability of this book is also undermined by the fact that parts of the story do not stack up, are downright wrong and factually incorrect. This must make the audiobook less believable and more annoying to anyone, like myself, who knows even a little about film production, Media City and Manchester.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
