Book excerpt: In this romantic comedy by the author of Maybe Baby, a woman must redeem herself if she hopes to get out of the doghouse. When Lisa Blake’s life in London falls apart, she returns to her hometown rebranding herself as “the purrfect pet sitter”—which may or may not be false advertising as she has a rather unfortunate habit of (temporarily) losing dogs! But being back where she grew up, Lisa can’t escape her past. There’s her estranged best friend Flick who she bumps into in an embarrassing encounter in a local supermarket. And her first love, Nathan Baker, who, considering their history, is sure to be even more surprised by her drunken Facebook friend request than Lisa is. As she becomes involved in the lives of her old friends, Lisa must confront the hurt she has caused, discover the truth about her mysterious leather-clad admirer, and learn how to move forward when the things she wants most are affected by the decisions of her past. Praise for The Purrfect Pet Sitter “All I can say is that this ticked every single box.” —Jo Lambert, author of Summer Moved On
