About This Book
Carol Prempton has always been unlucky, and the 1980s haven’t been kind enough to give her a break yet. Be it with men or in her career, everything she touches always seems to blow up in her face. Hell, she can’t even enjoy a night on the town without being the target of some sleazy guy trying on his luck. Of course, this means that even when she’s rushing to a particularly important interview that could give her life the boost it needs, Carol still finds herself at the mercy of a man following her. Ducking onto a train she shakes him off with a little help from a particularly assured commuter, accidentally leaving her briefcase on the tube in the process. Her horrible luck strikes again. Picking up the forgotten briefcase, Anna â€" the commuter who stood up to Carol’s harasser â€" attempts to track her down. However, what seems like an inconsequential act of kindness leads Carol down a path of self-discovery that might find her enjoying a little bit of success both personally and professionally. Following the interconnected lives of these young, unlucky-in-love women trying to carve out a name for themselves (or just stay afloat) in the heart of England’s capital, Making Room offers up a romantic comedy with more than a little bit of heart. In the hilarious new novel by J. Richardson, love, life and loss are all explored during an era of romance long since passed. As Carol begins her journey of self-discovery while trying to get back on her feet in both her career and her love life, a passionate and nostalgic look into the golden years of the eighties is brilliantly captured in the pages of Making Room. In the hustle and bustle of London long before the time of smartphones and online dating, finding romance wasn’t always easy, and it always had a habit of hitting you when you least expected.
