In this witty and irresistible rom-com from Lulu Dawson, a writer's attempt to manipulate fate puts her marriage in the backstory.

Writer Rachel loves dreaming up happy endings and controlling her characters' lives, while her superstitious husband Matt believes everything happens for a reason. So when Rachel decides they need a happy new beginning, she gives fate a helping hand and makes risk-averse Matt believe a move to the seaside 250 miles away is written in the stars.

To begin with, her plan works brilliantly ... until fate bites back.

Rachel's manipulation seems to have set a different version of their story in motion, plunging them into a full-throttle rom-com makeover, including a Hollywood meet-cute with new love interest Seth. Except she doesn't want it. The harder she resists, the more it seems her old life is being relegated to backstory – and husband Matt is no longer her leading man.

With only Anna, her best friend of over 30 years, to help her, Rachel must fight to find her way back home, before the love of her life walks out of it forever.

Can she escape the wrong rom-com?

A humorous and charming romantic comedy debut, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Emily Henry
