By Laura Blackett and Eve Gleichman.
Newlywed Rosie finds herself disillusioned with the hustle and bustle of New York City. Seduced by picturesque images on Instagram, she yearns for the idyllic charm of rural life upstate, craving authenticity and beauty. Supportive of Rosie's dreams, her tech-bro husband, Jordan, agrees to her vision and joins her in pursuing a historic fixer-upper in the serene Hudson Valley, despite its hefty price tag.
However, their fairy-tale aspirations take a sharp turn when Jordan unexpectedly loses his job on the very day they seal the deal. With their plans upended, the couple is forced to make ends meet by renting out the property's rundown outbuilding.
In steps Dylan and Lark, a striking and skilled queer couple, offer to lease the outbuilding while assisting Rosie and Jordan with renovations. Living the rustic lifestyle Rosie had dreamed of, complete with handcrafted furniture, herbal remedies, and charming farm animals, Dylan and Lark embody everything Rosie desires. As Rosie becomes increasingly enamoured with their tenants, particularly the captivating Dylan, Jordan's unease grows palpable, setting the stage for a tense and captivating narrative.
This is the perfect read for when sitting around the pool or beach, especially if you have a summer holiday coming up! 🌞☀️
