“Happiness could be just around the corner, with the perfect setting, perfect dress, perfect flowers, one hundred and eight guests, and one total and utter rat. Rosalind Shaw, abandoned at the altar, descends into depression, watching too much daytime TV and not bothering to shower as regularly as her mother would like. Relocating, she begins a new life at antiquarian bookshop "Chapters." Here, Ros finds herself working alongside Andrew, an intellectual and intensely private man; Georgina, a kind-hearted, sartorially splendid woman; and Joan, a free-spirited, loose cannon of a pensioner with a penchant for amateur dramatics and outdoor nudity.

But just when life might be starting to improve, Ros's neighbor Daniel knocks on her door with a bunch of flowers, a nervous grin, and some rather distressing news. Reading Upside Down is a funny, intelligent, and fast-paced novel of mistaken assumptions and misread intentions; of feelings hurt and forgiveness.
