Jo Cheetham
Hannah is in her mid-thirties and struggling to make ends meet when she is introduced to her best friend's affluent colleague Oscar Jennington-Bridge and asks him out on a date by mistake.
It's not exactly love at first sight, but somehow their awkward first encounter becomes a tentative relationship. Before she knows it, Hannah finds herself relocating halfway across the country to move in with Oscar, despite his terrible glassware (old Nutella jars), his terrible towels (the sort you'd throw in the boot of the car if you were taking a dog to the beach) and his terrible collection of watercolours (painted by his mother).
Hannah has always hated romantic comedies where a man holds the key to a woman's happy ending. But when you're barely surviving from paycheck to paycheck, how are you meant to afford your own?
Irrepressibly funny and unexpectedly moving, Love and Rent is a brilliantly observed and original novel about love, friendship and forging your own path.©2026 Jo Cheetham (P)2026 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Critic reviews
Funny and delicious (Ella Risbridger, author of The Kitchen Book)
A brilliant novel. There's so much comic invention packed onto every page, and so many hilarious throwaway lines. I laughed all the way through. Jo Cheetham treads the line between humour and bleakness with such assurance, so it's a thoughtful, hopeful book without ever being sentimental. Fantastic (Rebecca Wait, author of I’m Sorry You Feel That Way)
