Overview

A genuinely laugh-out-loud funny romantic comedy, Working from Home is lads’ lit asking chick lit out for an adventurous date into the vibrant world of business networking. A place where it’s not who you know that really matters, but who knows you.

Lurking behind the garish facades of the multinational corporations are the small businesses that are the pulsing heart of every town. These entrepreneurs are meeting strangers for breakfast, infiltrating our Facebook accounts and working in their pyjamas.

When a huge multinational pharmaceutical company leaves the town of Overchurch there is an emergence of new freelancers intent on working from home. This includes Jonny and Cat who find themselves struggling to find enough work to pay for the necessities in life like beer and shoes.

Jonny is being squeezed out of his home by his flatmate’s gorgeous girlfriend and Cat can only truly depend on Ferrero, her nutty dog. Can they manage to mix business with pleasure? And is it possible to keep your bank manager happy by following the bohemian cornerstones of freedom, truth, beauty and love?

Full of the intriguing details that only comes when someone has lived the life they are writing about; this contemporary rom com is perfect for readers who like to explore a new lifestyle. Hardy entrepreneurs who walk into rooms of strangers on a regular basis will meet many similar situations and characters.

Warning: This book is not suitable for anyone who gets embarrassed when snorting and laughing out loud while reading in public.
