The Burnout

I'll drop anything for a new Sophie Kinsella. The Burnout is hilarious, sparky, and joyful - just the book you need if you're desperate for a break. Beth O'Leary says, "I devoured The Burnout in one greedy gulp. Funny, sad, relatable, and so brilliantly done. Sophie Kinsella is the queen of romantic comedy." Jojo Moyes describes it as "a glorious off-season holiday love story that will sweep you off your feet. Funny, feel-good, touching, and full of the bittersweet, incisive wit that puts every Sophie Kinsella novel in a league of its own. I could not have loved it more." Lisa Jewell praises it as the irresistible new romantic comedy from the number one bestselling author.

Discover the joy that awaits when you set yourself free. Sasha is well and truly over it all: work (all-consuming), friendships (on the back burner), and a sex life (non-existent). Sasha has hit a brick wall (literally). Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga, and find solitude, she heads to the Devon resort she loved as a child. But it's off-season, the hotel is falling apart, and now she has to share the beach with someone else: a grumpy, stressed-out guy called Finn. How can she commune with nature when he's sitting on a rock, watching her? Especially when they don't agree on burnout cures. (Sasha: manifesting, wild swimming, secret Mars bars; Finn: drinking whisky.)

But when curious messages start appearing on the beach, Sasha and Finn are forced to begin talking - about everything. What's the mystery? Why are they both burned out? What exactly is 'manifesting,' anyway? They might discover that they have more in common than they think.

"Such a hilarious, joyous, life-affirming book; I never wanted it to end," says Jenny Colgan. "Uplifting and full of laugh-out-loud moments! Loved it!" exclaims Heidi Swain. "Delightful. Charming, relatable, and laugh-out-loud funny, I loved getting to know Sasha, Finn, and the gang. I'm sad I've finished it!" shares Sarah Turner.
