Anya is rather down on her luck after breaking up with her boyfriend, losing her job and having to move into her unwelcoming cousin’s house. Hoping to build her cooking Instagram following into a catering business, Anya meanwhile reluctantly takes on a babysitting job for twin girls who are out to torment her.
Then Anya finds a school yearbook with a signed pact that if still single at 30, she and the guy she was seeing back then, Euan, will find one another again. Deciding it’s worth a gamble to follow through on the promise, Anya enlists the help of another former schoolmate, Jamie, to track him down. But why is Euan so difficult to find and is he really her back-up man?
This story takes us on a fun journey, with some interesting side stories thrown in. A pleasant way to while away an afternoon.
Nursing a hangover, Ellen has just woken up when she realises a leak is flooding the kitchen. She heads for the attic to find a way to turn off the water before alerting her flatmates Jack and Alexa. Alexa is very sensible and would definitely know how to handle this crisis but it appears she has company in her bedroom, in the form of Ben, a guy she met through a dating app.
As the four of them gather in the attic, a gust of wind blows the door shut and the handle comes off in Ben’s hand. They are stuck, with a skylight and sporadic wi-fi their only connection to the outside world.
As they wait for help, Ellen discovers Ben may not be a stranger after all.
This was an amusing enough tale but not a lot happens. I enjoyed the MSN messaging flashback scenes the most.
