Lucy Legs It to London — Janet Butler Male

A city romcom with a seaside soul....In 1989, when waitress Lucy Wren leaves sleepy Mudley for the bright lights of London, she's determined to reinvent herself – big dreams, bold heels, and no slinking back in defeat.But London isn't quite the movie montage she imagined. A dingy hotel with threadbare carpets and a shower that makes  a phone box seem palatial isn't the glamorous start she'd hoped for.Then everything changes: an unexpected friendship with a boutique heiress… her pampered sausage dog… and her brother – a swoon-worthy Greek god who could be Lucy's soulmate……if not for the family expectations, too much money, and a level of polish that requires cufflinks.As Lucy navigates love, class clashes and the quirks of late 1980s life, she wonders if reinvention means becoming someone new – or simply becoming herself.A witty romantic comedy full of British charm, seaside cafes and the spark that comes when you finally stand your ground. This is a revised and updated edition of a novelette previously published under a different title.
