Robyn made a decent living as an estate agent and was fired suddenly for negligence. She was encouraged by her mother to work with her sister, Cleo at a cleaning service. Their relationship has evolved since their childhood. Cleo and Robyn missed out on getting to know each other as adults because of their divergent life paths.
Being short-staffed, Cleo assigned Robyn as a cleaner on her first day, which turned out to be a disaster due to her struggles with time management, lack of responsibility and disorganization. Jim, her supervisor, had strict expectations but was understanding and played a crucial role in helping her progress with a great piece of advice.
Lucy's writing style is charming, and witty, and never fails to bring a smile to my face with its clever punchlines. This novel offers deep insights into sisterhood drama, family secrets, and the challenges of creating a better future. With 400+ pages, it is quite a hefty read for a romcom. What do you think?
