Description

The latest must-read romcom about friendship, love and finding yourself, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Bolu Babalola.

Issy is the perfect combination of gay and depressed. Living in Margate with her mum and pet chinchilla, she has always drawn inside the lines. Crafting is her biggest comfort - the way she quiets her thoughts.

So when an artist comes calling with Issy's dream internship, she knows it is time to start living her life at last.

Moving to Hackney, Issy has a lot of firsts to catch up on - falling for housemates, navigating sex and dating, and avoiding the neighbour who seems to hate you for no good reason.

On her first day, Issy is shocked to find her neighbour there. Forced to work together, she determines to soften Aubrey's sharp edges. But Issy soon finds herself fading out of focus instead...

Can she make it in her new job, or will life outside the lines prove too much for Issy to handle
