Can she cram a wild decade into a few months without losing her mind ... or her heart A witty rom-com for all fans of Sally Thorne and Beth O'Leary.
Right person, worst time ever!
Teacher Makayla has many regrets: a Chiko Roll impulse buy, not visiting the Big Pineapple, and marrying her high school dud.
Now, newly divorced, determined to hold on to her independence and facing the big 3-0, Makayla makes a list of all the things she missed out on while her friends were single and running amok in their twenties.
But when her one-night stand turns up again, and a revenge plot on her ex spirals out of control, she has to decide if some things are worth missing. And if Makayla can't sort herself out before her birthday, she might face the biggest regret of her life.
A fresh and feisty romantic comedy about what happens when you meet someone special before truly knowing yourself.
