Nick sends an angry email to a client, it somehow ends up in the inbox of wedding-dress maker and serial dater Bee. Up until now, Nick’s life has been one of disappointment, from his attempts to make it as a writer, to his failing marriage. So when a flurry of emails with Bee sparks something new and exciting, they agree to meet up in real life. But how can you be together when your realities are worlds apart? This beautifully written, gentle sci-fi novel is both charming and original, with an out-of-this-world twist.
