In real life Sarah and Adam can’t stand each other.
In their virtual lives they adore each other.
They just haven’t put two and two together.
When Sarah is arrested for committing a reckless act, she’s mortified to be rescued by the person she’s consistently infuriated since high school. Infuriating him’s not intentional. He just seems to be around to watch her fall on her face when yet another calamity strikes. The problem is, she can’t help but reach out and pull him down with her.
Adam is paid for an eight-hour job that usually takes eleven. He can’t wait to retreat into the digital world at the end of the day: A virtual reality chatroom set in a quirky corner of the Jane Austen fan fiction universe. Bantering with the woman behind Mister D’Arsy is rapidly becoming his favourite way to dissolve the stresses of the day.
When their two worlds hurtle towards inevitable collision, will Sarah and Adam be able to move on from their troubled past, or is this just another disaster in a long-standing tragi-comedy?
Author Biography
Merren Tait is the award-winning author of The Good Life series, a humorous exploration of kick-arse women changing gears and seeking a quieter life in the less-well travelled places of a (fictional) New Zealand.
Merren has lived a series of bookish lives. Her first incarnation was as a book-hungry child, then as a mildly pretentious English literature student. Her third life saw her teaching English to somewhat-willing high school students, and her fourth, sharing her love of books as a librarian. Now she has been reincarnated as a fiction creator.
She is of Scottish, Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō, English, Irish and German extraction and attributes her cross-cultural comedic flair to the enthusiastic interbreeding of her ancestors.
Merren lives in a small house on a large piece of land near Raglan, New Zealand, where she dreams up fabulous names for her chickens, like Princess Layer.
