Wish List

Florence Fairfax is content with her life. She works at a small bookshop in Chelsea and has a cat called Marmalade for company. She has spent a long stretch of time single and does not see that as a problem. Her routine changes when she meets Gwendolyn, an unconventional love coach, who asks her to draw up a list of the qualities she wants in a partner.

Florence treats the exercise as a joke. Her list asks for a man who loves cats, has the stamina of a secret agent, and will accept her habit of counting things. She doubts anyone like that exists. Then a good-looking blond stranger comes into the shop asking for help, and Rory appears to match her list almost item for item.

Is Rory the right person, or does he seem too perfect to be true? The story is a light romantic comedy about rethinking what you look for in love, and about whether the search has been in the wrong places all along.
