She used to love her job – until her mentor died and her new boss decided to make her life hell. She used to love her partner Chris – until he cheated on her, and now she can't forget. The only place where her life is working is on the pages of the novel she is writing – there she can create a feistier, bolder, more successful version of herself – as the fictional Sabrina Anderson. But what if it was possible to start over again? To leave everything behind, forget all that went before, and live the life you'd always dreamed of?" After a set of unforeseen circumstances, Polly ends up believing she really IS Sabrina, living at the heart of a noisy Italian family restaurant by the sea. Run by Teddy, the son of her new landlady Marielle, it's a much-loved place, facing threat of closure as a rival restaurant moves in next door. Sabrina can't remember her life before, but she's determined to make the most of it. She's a talented writer, and she's determined to make her mark on the world. But as she gets to know the people around her, she realizes that life isn't always what you expect. There are secrets, lies, and betrayals, and she's not sure who to trust. But she's determined to find out the truth, and to make things right. Along the way, she meets a cast of characters who are as quirky and lovable as they are flawed. There's Teddy, the charming and charismatic son of Marielle, who's struggling to keep the restaurant afloat. There's Chris, the handsome and charming ex-boyfriend who's back in town, and who's not quite what he seems. There's Marielle, the eccentric and unpredictable landlady who's determined to keep the restaurant open, no matter what. And there's Sabrina's best friend, Emma, who's always been there for her, and who's not afraid to speak her mind. As Polly gets to know these characters, she realizes that life is full of surprises, and that it's important to embrace the unexpected. She learns to let go of her past, and to live in the present. She learns to love herself, and to be true to herself. And she learns that even the most difficult situations can be turned into something beautiful. In the end, Polly realizes that life is a journey, and that it's up to her to make the most of it. She decides to stay in the restaurant, to continue writing, and to make a difference in the world.
