Book Description
What would you do for love? Three people find out in this delightful contemporary romantic comedy . . . Three friends come together in the hope of finding love. Caz is determined to find The One and, keen to speed up the process, believes in “asking the universe” for help in matters of the heart. Her friends Mallory and Olly think it’s a lot of nonsense. When Mallory accepts a job designing the interior of a new Greek restaurant, she is horrified to learn that she accidentally handed in a CV that she wrote as a self-help exercise. It’s filled with skills and accomplishments she’d like to have . . . but doesn’t. So when co-owner Alex, the sexy son of a millionaire, asks for her help preparing a gourmet meal, she has no choice but to start trying to live up to her fictitious résumé. Even if she can’t cook! Meanwhile, Caz and Olly have their own to-do lists—and Olly’s includes either telling Mallory that he is her One or learning how to move on from his unrequited love. Caz is certain that the gods move in mysterious ways, and romance is just around the corner. Although it may lie in the most unexpected places . . .
