Abi’s barely left her bed since Joseph, the love of her life, dumped her, saying they were incompatible.
When Joseph leaves a box of her possessions on her doorstep, she finds a bucket list of ten things she never knew he wanted to do. What better way to win him back than by completing the list, and proving they’re a perfect match?

But there’s just one problem – or rather, ten. Abi’s not exactly the outdoorsy type, and she’s absolutely terrified of heights – not ideal for a list that includes climbing a mountain, cycling around the Isle of Wight and, last but not least, abseiling down the tallest building in town . . .Completing the list is going to need all Abi’s courage – and a lot of help from her friends.

With her fingers still twitching to access social media, she realises that maybe they both need a little time away from the real world. But can a busy city girl really last in the remote hills?

An easy read, with a journey through sibling relationships, misconceptions and life-changing decisions.
