The Unexpected Life of Maisie Meadows — Jenni Keer

An utterly charming novel with a sprinkle of magic

When Maisie Meadows finds herself single and jobless on New Year's Day, she resolves that this will be the year she focuses on bringing her scattered family back together. Romance is all very well, but it's the people you grew up with that matter the most.

But a new job working at an auction house puts her in the path of Theo, a gorgeous but unattainable man who she can't help but be distracted by. As their bond begins to grow, Maisie finds herself struggling to fulfil the promise she made to herself â€" but the universe has other ideas, and it's not long before the Meadows family are thrown back together in the most unlikely of circumstances…

Can dealing with other people's treasures help Maisie to let go of the past, and teach her who she ought to treasure the most?
