What to expect

Newly single. Holiday of a lifetime. Bumping into 'the ex'. This runaway Wattpad sensation brings you laughter, disaster, and a love story to give you the warm-and-fuzzies. Perfect for fans of Lindsey Kelk, Holly Martin, Tracy Bloom and Sophie Kinsella.

Annie is having a very bad year. First, she walks in on her boyfriend having sex with another woman. Then she accidentally gets arrested and loses her job. So when her sister invites her on a trip to Mauritius, Annie jumps at the opportunity to get away from it all. But her holiday soon turns into a nightmare when she discovers her ex and 'the other woman' are staying at the same resort.

But then Annie meets Chris, a cynical screenwriter with a bad case of writers block. He agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend so she doesn't look pathetic in front of her ex. But what happens when a make believe relationship starts to turn into the real thing?

For more laugh-out-loud, swoon-worthy hijinks, look out for Jo's next unmissable rom-com.
