Researching and writing this book gave me the greatest year – although it’s not about whether I think it turned out well.

So my Goodreads giveaway is only 2 days old and the numbers are already crazy! Imagine what it would be like if I could include the UK, where women's cricket is much more popular?!
Anyway, it's a romcom, and that's what's more important 🙂
