In a quiet Notting Hill street, Joan sits alone with memories of the man she walked away from one New York evening years ago. In need of company, she advertises for a lodger.

Jess knows it's time to move on from her best friend's couch, where she's been crashing since her boyfriend emptied out her heart, and all her savings. But when she responds to an advert for a lodger in Notting Hill, Jess has no idea how life's about to change.

When Jess meets Joan
, she recognises someone needing a way back into the world, and she suggests a switch: if Joan will agree to go on-line, she will go off-line. And when Jess discovers Joan's library of lost love, she decides to follow the trail, little realising that in Joan's story lies her own unexpected new beginning...
