Publisher Description

‘What an engaging story! I laughed out loud… Couldn’t put it down! You need to read this.’ Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars



Twenty-nine-year-old Lily Buckley planned to be happily married and in her dream job by now. Instead she’s been single since being left at the altar three years ago, and works at her local paper, writing about giant vegetables at the village fete and a dog who looks exactly like Chewbacca.


Not quite what she was dreaming of.


So when Lily’s given the opportunity to write her own column it’s exactly what she’s always wanted – except what she has to write about. She has to do one thing every week that scares her.


With encouragement from sexy colleague – and adrenalin-junkie – Christopher, Lily agrees. From sky-diving to haunted houses, Lily is going to be pushed to her limit. And since heartbreak has left her afraid of falling in love again, her growing feelings for Christopher might just push her past it…


But then her mum has a crisis, her column is the only thing keeping her – and her colleagues’ – jobs afloat, and Christopher’s ex arrives with her sights set on a romantic reunion. 


Suddenly jumping out of a plane is the least of Lily’s problems… Can she save her family, her friends, and her heart – or will Lily let her fears hold her back?


An uplifting, feel-good story about friendship, romance, and finding the hero inside yourself. Fans of Marian Keyes, Mhairi McFarlane and Sophie Kinsella will love Colleen Coleman!

Daerani ,

For once in my life

I liked the idea of doing things that challenges you to get out of your comfort zone and bring back your zest for life! I was just kinda hoping for a bit more from this book. More what? I’m not sure…

Single POV, no/low spice (fade to black), 16+

Feel good read

Such a lovely story with a happy ending. Had me smiling the whole way.

Blatant plagiarism

Shame that the start of chapter seven is a blatant rip-off of a scene out of Morning Glory starring Rachel McAdams in 2010.
