Cath Beckinsale’s life is a juggling act she never auditioned for. A single mum of three, staring down forty, and still keeping her late husband’s ashes on the kitchen table, she’s barely holding it together. Money is tight, so a lodger seems like the perfect fix.
Enter Dan. Definitely not the teenage student she expected. With his guitar, charm, and inconveniently good looks, he turns Cath’s carefully managed chaos into something far more complicated. Between parenting, grief, and a man who makes her pulse race, Cath is caught between clinging to the past and risking a future she never imagined.
Hilarious, heartwarming, and hopelessly relatable, this romcom proves that sometimes love sneaks in disguised as trouble.
And Cath may just be ready to let it stay.
