I think MKA makes writing look so easy and fun. Exhibit A:
“[the sound]… startled Tilly so badly she nearly dropped her bottle of budget red wine.” P1

Tilly is squatting at a house that the vacation rental place she works for manages. She knows it isn’t booked and she needs a place to stay until she gets her next paycheck. This particular night, a man arrives to the house saying the owner recently died and he is putting the local landmark up for sale. He has a high maintenance almost fiancé, but it turns out, she remembers him from his school days. 

I thought the way they meet was very clever. I wish it would have been another chapter or two longer, but I always love a little holiday MKA. There isn’t much time for home improvement in this one, but a few details of one of her favorite pastimes. Thanks MKA for this treat.
