An imaginative romance about a 36-year-old
faced with rebooting her shattered life in unexpected ways.
Are we in control of our destinies? Or does fate
cast the die of our lives? Those two questions inspire I Know How
This Ends, an inventive, thought-provoking
romance by Holly Smale (Geek
Girl, Cassandra
in Reverse).
The story is told by down-on-her-luck, 36-year-old
Margot Wayward, a British-Australian who is enduring the fall-out of a broken,
ten-year romance and her losing her job, in a terminal way, as a meteorologist. With her life unmoored, Margot has settled back into her old hometown of
Bristol where she struggles with ‘what’s next?’ for her life.
Enduring a string of no-spark, going-nowhere dates,
disillusioned Margot starts to experience supernatural visions that offer glimpses
of a future she cannot envision for herself. When she crosses paths with Henry--a
sweet-natured single dad and widower; a waiter at the Italian restaurant where
all her dates end in disaster--Margot's heart reawakens. But after everything she’s
been through, is she really ready to live--and love--again?
A compelling premise, a strong narrative voice, and a quirky supporting cast permeate Margot’s hopeful journey that will delight readers with tinges of time-travel and magical realism.
