Modern romance with a wild Yorkshire heart. Melanie Taylor delivers the perfect romcom escape for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Beth O'Leary. At their wedding twenty years ago, Luke Cooper promised Lizzie a lifetime of laughter, loyalty, and love. He meant every word. She believed him. Now, they can barely stand to be in the same room. Desperate and out of options, they sign up for a painfully low budget reality show, Just Good Housemates. The rules are simple: live together for six weeks, be filmed in their own home. and don't fall back in love. But between awkward on-camera tasks, off-camera tension, unexpected dates, and a community obsessed with their every move, things quickly spiral. Jealousy flares, secrets surface, and one mistake changes everything. As the show, and their lives, spin out of control, Luke and Lizzie must decide what's real, what's worth saving, and whether love can survive when the whole world is watching.
