Meet Julia Bancroft. Fabulous, talented, beautiful…deluded and friendless. You won’t like her at first but maybe her ‘nice’ lessons might change your mind?

Being nice doesn't come naturally to (self-proclaimed) renowned Regency romance author, Julia. But when her husband walks out on her and she realises she has no friends, she faces a future of dying alone with the pesky cats eating her face. Thankfully, she doesn't have any cats but drastic times call for drastic measures.

Guided (reluctantly) by her annoyingly wholesome new neighbour, Julia dives into the horrors of small talk, dating, and personal growth. But with a work deadline looming, family dramas, and her neighbour making a move on the one man she might actually like, staying “nice” is proving much harder than expected.

And there's nothing Julia likes more than throwing herself into her romances but when her current work in progress mirrors a part of her life, will she realise what she has before she loses everyone willing to help her?

Read now in this hilarious comedy set in Bath and treat yourself to snippets from Julia's latest work as she attempts to write the next Bridgerton. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Bridget Jones's Diary.
