Tilly is about to start her new job as a nurse practitioner on the quaint island of Starry Hill. On the bottom of her list: find love. But when the Starry Hill's caretaker Bodin catches her eye, who is as irritating as he is handsome, she can't help but wonder if she might have to overthink her priorities.
When Bodin hears, that the new nurse comes from the city, he has loads of prejudices he's yet to overcome after some more than unpleasant experiences with the creatures who live there. But Tilly slowly worms her way under his skin and he can't help but wonder why she's being nice to everyone but him. Maybe he got it all wrong?

These two are the cutest 🥹🥰. Both a bit too quick to jump to conclusions they realise might not be true later on. The entire town watching them fall for each other but looking the other way and pretending they don't know what's going on? Priceless!! I really fell in love with Starry Hill and it's kind and fun characters and can't wait for more stories from my new favourite monster small town 🥰
