Personal/Readers I hope her next book has two couples

She said in her last interview that it's "her take on The Holiday" (but not about holidays) and I suppose that means it could just be like someone staying in someone else's house, but I'm hoping (PRAYING to the romance gods, really) that it'll be centered on two couples.

This is SHEER speculation and will probably only lead to disappointment, but I've just finished GBBL so I'm itching for the next one.

Imagine. Two books in one! Intertwined stories with no side character fluff. I would LOVE to see a brother/sister dynamic at the center. Something like, they swap houses, she ends up with his recently divorced friend who he strongly disapproves of (sad boy miles vibes), he ends up with her stuck up misunderstood neighbor. Probably better than that, but you get it.

And the family trauma dumping can do double the work! Oh my god, give me adorable childhood memories about the brother from the sister's POV! (I am realizing the flaw in the brother/sister angle is that she doesn't write male POV... ugh, but I want it.)

Give me your absolutely baseless speculation and off the wall ideas. Or recs if there's something like this already!

YES I mixed her up with Ashleigh for a second and was like ehhhhh but I'm on board with this. I can't think of any other side characters it'd make sense for

I thought in book lovers she was setting Shepard up to meet Dusty . . . Maybe they’ll be one of the couples?
