She had a five-year plan for everything... except falling in love.
Evie Lane believes every problem has a solution-and preferably a spreadsheet.
Her career is on track. Her life is colour-coded. Her mornings begin with productivity apps, fitness goals and carefully optimised routines.
Then, in the space of a week, she loses her boyfriend, has a spectacular meltdown at work, and inherits a crumbling cottage in the quirky Cornish village of Muddy Bottom.
Determined to make the most of her fresh start, Evie creates the ultimate "Love Maxxing" plan to optimise country life.
The villagers are baffled.
The chickens are unimpressed.
And Sam Berryman-the infuriatingly handsome local handyman-is convinced some things should never be measured.
As Evie's perfectly organised world collides with muddy boots, eccentric neighbours, village fêtes and a man who refuses to fit into any of her carefully designed plans, she begins to discover that the best things in life aren't efficient...
They're wonderfully, gloriously messy.
Love Maxxing is a warm, witty and uplifting romantic comedy about second chances, burnout, finding your people and learning that love doesn't follow an algorithm.
Perfect for readers who adore for readers of Sophie Kinsella, Beth O'Leary and Mhairi McFarlane.
