More about the book

At a crossroads both personally and professionally, a newly single, thirty-something marketing exec takes a chance on a winter job at an exclusive artists' retreat in Canada, only to find herself overwhelmed in this sharply written, relatable, and hilarious debut novel. After a humiliating breakup and a social media post (#sponsoredbywine), Kate Rigsby discovers she’s lost her job and her almost-fiancé, leading her to question her past choices. Seeking a reset, she escapes her big-city life for a temporary gig at Treetops, a swanky creative retreat in Muskoka, promising meditation circles and artisanal cocktails. However, the reality is a struggling resort stuck in the 1990s, complete with a fax machine. Kate's office is a bunker, her boss a nightmare, and she shares a freezing hut with her Goldendoodle. Adding to her challenges is a sexy, off-limits coworker who distracts her from the daunting task of making the retreat profitable. Despite the difficulties, the breathtaking surroundings and quirky crew ignite a newfound enthusiasm in Kate for her career and life. With wit and heart, the story explores how a detour born of disaster can lead to unexpected growth. Fans of Lizzy Dent and Sophie Cousens will enjoy this insightful tale of self-discovery and romance.
