A down and out editor, Clara, and a famous British actor, Caspian Tiddleswich, clash big time over mistaken intentions. I laughed until my sides hurt over Clara and her antics! She is the real deal with flaws, clumsiness, and a big heart. I loved the best friend relationship she has with Cici, who totally has her back. Cici is an absolute gem! There are fantastic girlfriend moments, crazy dialogue and knock your socks off drama. The plot has funny moments in spades, especially at the storage unit. I fell in love with all the characters, even Uncle Charlie, owner of the storage units. The drama between Caspian and Clara is cataclysmic and I wondered how they would sort everything out.
