- Not how I pictured it / by Lefler, Robin,author.;
"Agnes "Ness" Larkin has been out of the spotlight since her quick departure twenty years ago from a starring role in a hit teen TV drama. When the show is tapped for a reboot, no one is more surprised than Ness that she signs on to rejoin the cast, leaving behind a normal--if not exactly thrilling--life in Toronto. Also back for round two are Libby, Ness's former best friend and soon-to-be makeup-empire magnate, and Hayes, Ness's one-that-got-away, who has risen to A-list fame (and somehow gotten even better looking) in the ensuing years. After the cast sets off for filming near the Bahamas, a storm rolls in and leaves the seven actors and one production assistant stranded on a small island, with only an abandoned, derelict mansion in which to wait out the storm. But when the weather clears and a new day rises, they find that their boat is gone. Stuck in a bizarre, crumbling house on an uninhabited island with possibly the most useless survival group in history, Ness and her co-stars are forced to revisit a minefield of past transgressions and come to terms with the adults they've become as they work together to ride out their personal storms. Or at least pretend to. They are actors, after all. Interspersed with weather reports, fictional memoir excerpts and Perez Hilton-esque blog posts, Not How I Pictured It is a rollicking novel of delightful absurdity, pithy dialogue and no shortage of heart."--- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Novels.; Actors; Actresses; Islands; Man-woman relationships; Storms; Survival;

- Reasonable adults : a novel / by Lefler, Robin,author.;
A swanky new gig at a luxury artists' retreat in Muskoka, a delightful canine companion and a chance at a clean start. It should be smooth sailing from here ... Everything has fallen apart for Kate Rigsby: she is freshly single--separated from an ex she never really liked--and freshly fired--from a job she never really liked, either. Somehow, she's reached the age of thirty-one and the only things she truly cares about are her goldendoodle, Eric, her two best friends, and proving to her parents (and, if she's honest, to herself) that she made the right choice moving to the city. Except, instead of thriving, she finds that her life has taken a nose-dive. So when a job at Treetops Creative Retreat suddenly lands in her lap, she's thrilled. Three months at a glorified arts and crafts workshop for grown-ups that boasts five-star cuisine and a helipad, and she'll be well paid? The perfect escape. So what if her contract spans the depths of winter? Neat! A charming life experience! She can learn to snowshoe. But when Kate arrives at the retreat, nothing is as she imagined. She didn't read the fine print, her targets are impossible, her boss seems committed to seeing her fail and there happens to be an extremely off-limits fellow staffer who has no business being so gorgeous. Part self-discovery, part rom-com and part comedy of errors, Reasonable Adults is a hilarious debut about finding yourself--and maybe love--along the way. A little summer-camp romance never hurt anyone, right?- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Novels.; Dogs; Man-woman relationships; Single women;
