Following a year in the life of a twenty-something British woman who falls hard for her London flat mate, this clever, fun, and unforgettable romantic comedy is the perfect feel-good holiday listen.

Two people. One house. A year that changes everything.
Twenty-nine-year-old Jess is following her dream and moving to London. It’s December, and she’s taking a room in a crumbling, but grand, Notting Hill house-share with four virtual strangers. On her first night, Jess meets Alex, the guy sharing her floor, at a Christmas dinner hosted by her landlord. They don’t kiss, but as far as Jess is concerned the connection is clear. She starts planning how they will knock down the wall between them to spend more time together.

But when Jess returns from a two-week Christmas holiday, she finds Alex has started dating someone else—beautiful Emma, who lives on the floor above them. Now Jess faces a year of bumping into (hell, sharing a bathroom with) the man of her dreams…and the woman of his.

Publishers Weekly…Starred review from October 14, 2019
New beginnings are at the heart of this sweet, G-rated debut romance. Jess accepts her dream job in London and can’t believe her luck when a friend offers her a room in a Notting Hill town house for dirt cheap. The only rule is there can be no relationships between residents. When Jess’s new housemate, Alex, gave up his lucrative law career to pursue nursing, his fiancée promptly dumped him. He’s determined to avoid relationships and concentrate on his studies, but enjoys a friends-with-benefits arrangement with Emma, a fellow housemate, on the sly…. Curtis has a gift for capturing complex emotion and both romantic and platonic intimacy. The witty dialogue, loyal friendships, and endearing romance are sure to capture readers’ hearts.

Narrators Jessica Preddy and Finlay Robertson help bring this lovely British romance to life. Jess, finally living her dream of a Notting Hill home and a job in publishing, meets all her new housemates at Christmas and instantly is attracted to Alex. The two take a series of walks to acquaint Jess with London, all the while grappling with their feelings for each other. Preddy, as Jess, offers the right amount of elation and anxiety as she depicts Jess’s roller-coaster year. Robertson also shows multiple skills as Alex deals with his new career choice and navigates his feelings for Jess. This story is a delightful winter listen that is boosted by both a male and a female narrator…. � AudioFile 2019,
