WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Taking On a World of Words that highlights three questions:
Andie had it all planned out. When you are a politician’s daughter who’s pretty much raised yourself, you learn everything can be planned or spun, or both. Especially your future. Important internship? Check. Amazing friends? Check. Guys? Check (as long as we’re talking no more than three weeks).
But that was before the scandal. Before having to be in the same house with her dad. Before walking an insane number of dogs. That was before Clark and those few months that might change her whole life. Because here’s the thing—if everything’s planned out, you can never find the unexpected. And where’s the fun in that?

'Who are you and why do you have my boyfriend's phone?’
And with these words, the life of the brunette and t-shirt wearing Maya Maas is turned upside down. Having planned to surprise her boyfriend, she finds herself single and stranded in an unknown city on her birthday.
So when the mystery driver rescues Maya with the suggestion that she cheers herself up at a nearby beach town, she jumps at the chance to get things back on track. She wasn't expecting a personalised itinerary or the easy companionship that comes from opening up to a stranger via text, let alone the possibility it might grow into something more...
Come on this 5* journey to love, laughter and back again, perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Josie Silver and Sally Thorne.
As a child, Olivia
not-so-quietly ‘observed’ (AKA bothered with countless questions) her grandfather — who
worked for the biggest publishing house in Romania — edit hundreds of books.
And when he wasn’t editing, he read. Everything, all the time. Just like her father, who
wrote short sci-fi stories, and was set on building the largest library she’d ever seen and her
mother who’s never found without a book…wherever she goes.
Her love for words came naturally, and after studying marketing, communications
& photography, Olivia worked as a journalist for a newspaper and news
television network in Romania.
An
unapologetic citizen of the world, she spent a few years in Greece, Sweden,
France, before settling in sunny California with her photographer husband and
young daughter, where she works in marketing and writes. Oh, and let's not
forget the ever-growing menagerie that completes the family: Pumpkin, the Maine
Coon mix, three black cats and a siamese kitten.
When
she's not writing or thinking about writing, she reads (across genres), watches
old movies and collects vintage books, vinyl records, and eerie paintings. She
loves traveling (and can’t wait until she can do it again, safely), swimming, biking, hiking and
of course, photography.
SOMEDAY

contemporary romcom set in Northern California, is set to be published as an
