Pip North, Freya

Freya North's debut introduces Pip McCabe, a 28-year-old physiotherapist whose life takes an unexpected turn when she wins the lottery—except the ticket is tucked away in the glove compartment of her ex-boyfriend's car. What follows is a journey across England as Pip chases down her fortune while grappling with what she really wants: the money, the man, or something else entirely. North writes with warmth and wit about the messiness of your late twenties—bad jobs, worse boyfriends, and the friends who keep you sane through it all. This is romantic fiction that doesn't take itself too seriously, full of charm and genuine humor. Perfect for fans of Marian Keyes or anyone who's ever wondered if winning the lottery would actually solve anything.
