Description

What would it look like if you became the main character of your own life For fans of Kate Stayman-London's One to Watch and Maddie Dawson's Matchmaking for Beginners.

Poppy Banks would rather be writing mysteries than listicles for her dead-end job at Thought Buzz. But after a series of rejections, she's ready to give up all her big aspirations and settle like her mom encourages her to do. The only person not ready to give up on Poppy's dreams is her aunt Margot, whom she has secret lunches with each year.

But everything changes when her beloved aunt Margot dies and her last request is to have Poppy travel to her villa in the French Riviera. There, she'll discover her aunt has laid out an intricate plot - that Poppy can inherit her palatial estate and continue to host the prestigious writers' residency, The Colony, her aunt Margot founded if she finishes a draft of her novel within six months. Uncertain she can live up to her aunt Margot's expectations - and her own - she turns to her aunt's journals for solace.

The brooding Oliver, who thought he was being groomed to take over The Colony, is none too pleased that Margot left her legacy to Poppy. And two tech bros would love nothing more than to buy The Colony from Poppy and turn it into a literary spa. Poppy has six months to decide what to do about the villa and discover if she has the courage to be the main character in her own fantastic life.
