Nell is a boiling hot mess.

Oliver may well be the cause of it.

If only she didn’t fancy him so much, things might be far less complicated...

Left humiliated after suddenly losing her job, dedicated workaholic and chronic people-pleaser, Nell, is desperate to escape. She books a trip to a Spanish retreat, the Platinum Triple Worry Plus package, in search of something to spark joy - green tea, kale smoothies and wall pilates aren’t quite doing it. Determined to start over, she tells a small white lie, but is overheard by Oliver, a well-intentioned muscle-mountain. The more he attempts to help her see the error of her ways, the more she tries to ignore how incredibly good-looking and capable he is. And as the web of lies grows, he warns her of the consequences. But will she listen?

No, of course not. She’s too busy trying not to fall in love with him.

Could facing up to her poor decisions of the past be the key to living her best life in the future?
