A novel about friendship, romance and learning to love yourself - just the way you are.When Olivia Tennyson – or Ollie to her friends – was sixteen, she wrote a Dream List of all the things she wanted for her life, including a happy marriage and a family. But at twenty-nine, Ollie is single, living at home with her over-protective and manipulative mother, and is feeling like her dreams are getting further out of reach.
It’s time for a change.
It’s time to take matters into her own hands.
Without telling her mum, or more importantly, asking her permission, Ollie finds the perfect place to start her new life. End Cottage has a duck-egg blue front door, a garden that leads to acres of forest, and definitely counts as her dream home.
Now all Ollie has to do is complete the rest of her list and find out who she really is, before she can imagine any romance coming into her life. After all, how is she going to find her dream man in the middle of a forest…
Reading Beth Moran’s gorgeous novels makes every day better. Uplifting, smart, with unforgettable characters and gorgeous settings, it’s impossible not to fall in love with a Beth Moran story. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan.
Praise for Beth Moran:
‘Life-affirming, joyful and tender.’ Zoe Folbigg
'Every day is a perfect day to read this.’ Shari Low
'A British author to watch.' Publisher's Weekly
Ollie Tennyson is stuck. Stuck living with and enabling her overbearing mother. So, she decided to do the one thing that may set her free and give her a chance at a happier life: move.
In an effort to reclaim a chance at some happiness, Ollie moves to a cottage and begins the process of tackling a dream list that she made when she was just a teenager.
With the help of an endearing cast of characters, Just the Way You Are shines and captivated me from near the beginning.
The only thing I may have preferred was a slight bit more romance. However, I get that Ollie’s arc was about more than finding true love. It was about finding herself.
