Rosamund is finally out from under her strict family's guardianship, and her uncle has left her a little money in his will. She decides to follow all her own dreams and not stop for anything. She buys a house by the lake, and decides to set up a fortune-telling booth to make her living. But her new neighbor Mr. Squire is a very traditional person who seems to disapprove of everything she does. Rosamund tells herself that she doesn't care about his approval, but in her secret heart she wants him to think well of her. Can they manage to be neighborly or will Rosamund's wild ways tear them apart?

I loved this hilarious book! The whole story is ridiculous and silly and delightful. The romance was so sweet, and I really liked the supporting characters who come to Rosamund for advice. She leads them into some crazy situations, but they all find their dreams have come true once they have the courage to see it through. There is an orphan girl looking for a true family, an inventor with no money to develop his turbo engine, a society girl who is sick of parties and fake people and just wants to tramp around in the woods and wear trousers like a man, and a millionaire who worries that his friends only want his money.

Rosamund is flighty and frivolous, but she has her own brand of wisdom as well. Although her words and actions are sometimes silly, she has a good and generous heart. She just refuses to be restricted by other people's ideas of what is sensible.
Mr. Squire is steady and responsible, but he is amused by Rosamund's antics, and he needs some shenanigans to shake him out of his boring life.

This book is altogether delightful and fun!
