Nina, a woman convinced that true love must be passionate and tempestuous, finds herself repeatedly drawn to unsuitable partners. Years of searching for her 'One True Love' have yielded only fleeting flings and disappointing encounters. Her rigid definition of romance blinds her to the possibility of love with a man from her past, a former schoolmate now in a conventional profession, whom she dismisses as too ordinary to ignite her heart.

The premise suggests a lighthearted and charming romantic comedy, likely appealing to readers who enjoy stories about self-discovery in love and the cozy atmosphere of independent bookshops. The comparison to authors like Lucy Diamond and Jenny Colgan indicates a focus on relatable characters and feel-good narratives. The mention of 'sweet, funny and lovely!' from Marian Keyes further reinforces the expectation of a warm and engaging read. The story seems poised to explore themes of preconceived notions about love and the possibility of finding romance where one least expects it.
