ALL THE THINGS I WASN’T
BLURB
“PROMISE ME ONE THING—NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, TRY TO SEE THE MAGIC PART, OK?”
If there’s one thing Emily knows, it’s how to stay the course. She’s sacrificed everything on her way to the top of the North’s most prestigious law firm and her dream life is finally within grasping distance. But when burnout hits, the façade begins to crumble, and she’s forced to question whose dream she has really been chasing.
Embarking on a career break, Emily has a new plan—fix herself and regain control of her life. That is until a chance encounter with an effervescent café owner sets off a chain of events that has both of their pasts unravelling and Emily finds herself risking everything to stay in the remote Yorkshire village where she can breathe properly for the first time.
As the veneer of her old life peels further back, Emily must make her choice. She can retreat to what she has always known, or she can take a chance on something new—something messier, something more complex, and something infinitely more real.
