Will appeal to:
- Women 30+.
- Readers who are hungry for more female protagonists over the age of 40.
- Fans of Chelsea Handler, Rebecca Wells, Jennifer Weiner, and Helen Fielding.
- This book combines the best of “chic lit” with mangled romance and family drama—and it takes place in a possibly haunted castle.
- Readers will fall for the flawed protagonist, Kay, an alcoholic who chooses the wrong man every time, and then is forced to literally live with her mistakes.
- Lovers of farcical comedy; Giles’s signature wit is in every chapter, keeping the narrative from becoming too heavy despite its serious subject matter—addiction, loneliness, toxic relationships, and later-life career crises.
- Those who appreciate screwball comedy and slapstick humor; just as one ex-suitor falls off the roof, another walks through the door. It’s “Lucy in the chocolate factory,” but instead of candy, Kay is overwhelmed by inadequate men.
