Love Your Life

More about the book

Ava believes love should be found in the real world, not through dating apps that rely on superficial filters. After a breakup and a frustrating experience with online dating, she decides to take a break from romance and heads to a secluded writers' retreat in coastal Italy. Determined to finish her long-dreamed novel, she leaves behind her close friends and beloved dog, Harold. At the retreat, she must adopt a pseudonym and keep her personal life private. When a martial arts retreat nearby gets canceled, some of its participants join the writing group, including a charming man named "Dutch," who captivates Ava, now "Aria." They dive into a carefree romance, enjoying thrilling adventures in the stunning Mediterranean. However, as their time together approaches an end, they must confront their true identities—Ava and Matt—and return to London. Reality sets in, revealing stark differences in their lives, from dietary preferences to personal quirks, and complicating their relationship further is Matt's clingy ex-girlfriend. As challenges arise, they must determine if their love can bridge the gap between their contrasting worlds. Can they reconcile their differences and create a shared future?
