Life appears to have passed by Will and Ruth, two lonely thirty-somethings with an umbilical dependence on their smartphones, until a random street theft brings them together. As they tentatively grow closer, they discover why a red Lego brick is a cure for a blank magnolia wall, how lives are inextricably linked to the power in a mobile phone battery, how shoelaces can become a moment of pure eroticism and how a text message can change your life. But when Ruth is caught up in a terror attack in central London, their budding relationship is turned on its head.
Andy Matheson: “I am a first-time author and was looking for an editor and was introduced to Bryony. Bryony is lovely to deal with. She injects all correspondence with warmth and humour. She is also very fast to reply to questions, which is just what I needed. I sent her my draft novel and was frankly overwhelmed when I received her notes and suggestions. She went into incredible levels of detail and followed every reference or quote in my book with helpful comments and observations. It is clear she had invested hours and hours in my work and it emerged so much the better for it. I would recommend her without reservation. I may be a first-time author but I have already asked her to help with my next writing project.”
