Musician Tom and comedian Jess have brilliant timing on stage - but soon after a chance encounter, they learn the hard way that, when it comes to love, timing isn’t so easy… Perfect for fans of will -they-won’t-they love stories, romantic comedies and Josie Silver.

‘A complete delight’ Holly Bourne

‘A modern-day love story with an old-fashioned warmth’ Debbie Johnson

For Jess and Tom, timing is everything.

For her, it’s the moment she delivers the perfect punchline. For him, it’s the heartbeat in the music he makes with his band.

And from the night they meet, sharing the same stage at the Edinburgh Festival, their attraction is undeniable. At first, it seems their timing is as perfect in the wings as it is in front of a crowd.

But as Jess and Tom’s careers take off, the moment for true connection is always just out of reach. With fate pushing them together, only to pull them apart, will the timing ever be right?

After all, when it comes to love, the timing has to be perfect… Doesn’t it?

Praise for PERFECT TIMING …
