About this listen
Yorkshire anatomy lecturer Ruby Clark considers her life low-maintenance. She teaches at the local university, has two well-behaved teenage daughters, and what she doesn't know about human anatomy isn't worth knowing. Unfortunately, that knowledge doesn't stretch to plants, and she's been asked to help out on a school garden project.
Being a paramedic doesn't do Melissa Jackson's back or knees any favors, so she's looking into university courses to try a less strenuous line of her work. But the brash, proudly out, down-to-earth woman's biggest challenge is keeping her dyslexia a secret. That, and living down the stigma that follows her when people find out.
A university open day throws the two women into each other's orbits. When Mel, an expert green thumb, makes a few helpful suggestions on Ruby's garden project, Ruby convinces her to team up to make it a success.
Personality-wise, they couldn't be less compatible. Mel's brazen attitude, cocky jokes, and affinity with earthworms immediately rub the hyper-professional, straight-laced Ruby the wrong way. Can they ever find common ground?
Contains mature themes.

A Laconic journey
It’s not often in this genre that the reader feels so moved by the authenticity of the words on the page. Jenn Matthews weaves a tale that appears so genuine, you feel you are right there at the beginning of an actual love story. It’s a journey of self discovery and happiness for both protagonists. Rachael Beresford’s narration just adds to the authenticity of the words. Her voice soothes over the accents of the characters, putting the listener right there in the centre of the story.
