For fans of Beth O’Leary and Josie Silver, a heartwarming and romantic debut told over the course of one year in monthly weekend installments, about found family, new love, and the magic of London.
Flowers have always been the best communicators. They’ve mastered falling over one another in the perfect way to announce exactly what they need: sunlight, water, space. They do not rush. They do not bloom before their time. They do not take without giving in return…
They are nothing like the rest of London.
Between trying to keep her north London flower shop, The Lotus, afloat and falling for a flatmate, Lucy Bernstein is going to have to rethink everything she knows about “creative arrangements.”
Unwillingly becoming one of eight flatmates in a quirky warehouse conversion would have been difficult enough without any romantic entanglements, but when Lucy lays eyes on Henry Baker, the traveling photographer who only comes home twelve weekends a year, she knows her hands will be full with more than just posies. As each weekend progresses, Lucy also finds herself unexpectedly falling for all her new flatmates, along with this bustling but ultimately sweeter home.
Can Lucy learn from the flowers she tends to and bravely reach for all that she needs to bloom?
When Lucy Bernstein had to move from her tiny studio, she never dreamed she would move into a warehouse apartment with seven roommates. She’s counting on it only being temporary while she focuses on her job as a North London florist.
Weekends with You captures the essence of Lucy blossoming just like the flowers she arranges. Author Alexandra Paige delivers interesting characters within the pages of the story, told over the course of a year in monthly weekend installments.
Lucy falls hard for fellow flatmate Henry. As a traveling photographer, he is only home 12 weekends per year. While navigating the challenges of a budding relationship, Lucy also takes on more responsibilities at the small flower shop.
In a profession where flowers are used to express different feelings and occasions, Lucy must learn how to articulate her emotions to those around her.
Weekends with You demonstrates how close proximity can lead to strong relationships that you never realized you were missing.
