I loved this one! It’s a funny and sweet story of a woman (Edie) in her mid-30’s struggling after a co-worker kisses her at his own wedding. She’s given a respite from office gossip in the shape of returning to her hometown and ghost writing the memoir of a hot young actor (Elliott). But he doesn’t really want the book to happen, the people back at work are amping up the harassment and things are tense between Edie and her vegan/social warrior sister, Meg. I love the way Mhairi can turn a phrase and I found myself highlighting so many great lines.
