Description
The next hilarious, uplifting book from Abigail Mann, author of The Lonely Fajita!
'Heartwarming, charming and witty' Sophie Cousens #1 bestselling author of This Time Next YearJournalist Ava takes a DNA test hoping to discover her roots. Instead, she finds out she has a half-sister ... whilst on a live stream watched by 100,000 people. Her boss thinks it's the perfect click-bait story. Ava just wants to go to Moira's tiny Scottish village and meet her.
But when Ava arrives undercover as a volunteer farmhand, she realises Moira - who's her pig-wrestling, chatterbox polar opposite - might not be delighted by the news. And the longer Ava stays in Kilroch, with its inappropriately attractive minister and ties to her hidden family past, the more complicated this surprise is going to get...
The perfect funny, heartwarming read for fans of Marian Keyes, Beth O'Leary, Sophie Ranald and Mhairi McFarlane.

About the Author
Abigail is a comedy writer living in London and surviving on a diet of three-shot coffee, bourbons, and vegetarian sausage rolls. She was born and brought up in Norfolk, which she says is to blame for the sardonic humour that runs through her novels. Abigail was the runner-up in 2019's Comedy Women in Print award for The Lonely Fajita: her first novel.
