I enjoyed this.
Maia hears about her fiancé cheating on her at lunch on the first day of a new job where she has moved across the country to join him. She does not hesitate to confront him and then move out.
She then goes to live with family in the countryside and meets Rowan a popular handywoman. She is not stopping though – she wants to move back to the city.
This is a tale that meanders slowly into friendship with attraction and then expands into a relationship.
It addresses whether anyone knows what they are looking for – to the extent that they have a goal and can not deviate from it when opportunity and the right woman comes along.
The countryside offers the opportunity for tress, wildlife, wild swimming, community and belonging. All the city had going for it was people, resources, costly small apartments and jobs.
Only it appears the countryside has jobs too – and the local hospital has a long standing vacancy for her speciality!
There is of course an epilogue.
Life has carried on smoothly without a move back to the big city
