Lost at sea . . . with your one-night stand
'I adored it, it was so romantic' Marian Keyes
'Feels like a brand new version of romance . . . I drowned happily in this book' Jodi Picoult
Lexi is looking for no-strings-attached fun.
Zeke is looking for love.
Neither of them were looking for a one-night stand to become their one and only lifeline.
But when they wake up after an unforgettable night together, the houseboat they stayed on has been swept out to sea. There's no signal, no steering and no sign of rescue.
And as the waves pick up and supplies run low, Zeke and Lexi realise there's much more on the line than their new relationship.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Being lost at sea is terrifying enough, but how about being lost at sea with someone with whom you’ve just had a one-night stand? Awkward doesn’t quite cover it! This is what happens to Lexi and Zeke in the new romantic comedy by Beth O’Leary, author of The Flatshare and The Wake-Up Call. The couple endure a morning after of nightmarish proportions: Following a night of passion on a houseboat, they wake up to find their vessel drifting in open water. Will being thrown together in this crisis be a recipe for love—or disaster? A strikingly original premise coupled with well-drawn, relatable characters, and a sense of jeopardy to keep the reader on their toes, make this a must-read for romcom fans.
Customer Reviews
Terrifying book with romance
Lowkey was horrifying for 90% of it so goodluck. My phobia is being in the middle of the ocean.
Swept Away…
…on a heady maelstrom of emotions: excitement at being at sea, but surfing uncontrollably between passion, fear, acceptance of self, determination to grasp whatever bouys you up in life & then realisation of the ripples caused by decisions made in earlier life surging onto the shores of your current life. A brilliantly written log book of richly drawn characters that lure you into their journey in life, towards a very satisfying mooring point that hints at the next adventure: I could imagine this as a film!
Unputdownable
This book does not disappoint. I was hooked from the start
