Romance | 2024 January New Releases

This summer, one woman is going after what she wants and nothing will stand in her way – not even the handsome man next door... An uplifting, heartfelt romantic comedy for fans of Nora Ephron, Emily Henry and Beth O’Leary. 

Gillian has been happily single for several years and, after trying a few dating apps, prefers to stay that way. Navigating her way through dates with fat shamers and lacklustre men has left her with no desire to do anything other than work in her garden in her spare time. Who needs rude comments and awkward first-date conversation when soft roses and vibrant tulips are so much better? 

Noah has just moved into town after a rough breakup – and moves in right next door to Gillian. A big believer in minimalist design and that the best kind of plants are non-flowering, he knows as soon as he meets his neighbour that they are going to clash on just about everything. Now if only he could keep his eyes off her too. That might be helpful. 

When a gardening contest brings out the competition in Gillian and Noah, duelling plant arrangements and fiery banter ensues. But is it possible that beneath all their differences, they might just be perfect for each other?
