Özet
 He’s a fish out of water, she’s fighting the current, but together will they Sink or Swim?

Arriving back in the small Lake District town of Inglemere, Aria thinks she’s reclaiming her childhood home after her dad’s untimely death. Resentful of her self-involved stepmother, and dodging her insufferable ex, Aria has no choice but to move into the falling-apart fishing hut she’s been left instead.

Enter Nic, a southern property tycoon with a desperate plan to transform the untouched lake shore into a luxury haven for the rich. But when his development plans hit a snag, the only way forward is to convince the locals he’s one of them.

With Aria’s financial situation worsening, a deal with this handsome devil feels like her only option…

This steamy small-town story is all about how thin the line between love and hate is, and about discovering what – and who – makes a home.

I absolutely loved this book. As someone who lives in Cumbria and has both studied and taught tourism and rural issues in the Lakes, so much of Sink or Swim felt incredibly authentic. Even with fictional locations and characters, there were moments where I was grinning in recognition at the settings, atmosphere and local dynamics.

What makes this book different from much of the chick lit I’ve read is the depth beneath the fun, romance and humour. Alongside the enemies-to-lovers trope, developing chemistry and lighter moments, the story also touches on grief, shame, belonging, tourism, rural life and community pressures in a way that felt very real and grounded. The emotional moments made the romance feel earned rather than superficial.

I’m a big fan of Kirstie’s writing style and humour, and often found myself laughing out loud and scaring the kids, who would then ask what I was laughing at… and I definitely couldn’t tell them!

This was also the first new book that managed to pull me away from my ongoing Throne of Glass reread spiral, which is honestly very high praise from me.

Warm, funny, escapist and heartfelt, with just enough spice and a wonderfully strong sense of place. A bit like if Marian Keyes and Jilly Cooper co-wrote a book while staying in a waterside cabin in Windermere.

I’m already excited for the next instalment.

Warm, Witty and Wonderfully Authentic
