So when she’s sacked and put on gardening leave, Jasmine realises that she has nothing else to fill her life. Insomnia keeps her staring out of her bedroom window, and she finds herself watching the antics of her neighbour, shock jock Matt, with more than a casual eye.

Jasmine has every reason to dislike Matt, and the feeling appears to be mutual. But not everything is as it seems, and soon Jasmine and Matt are forced to think again…

MY REVIEW
We follow Jasmine in this story who doesn't seem to like to commit to anything, including working for start up companies but selling them on rather than committing to them. At the start of this story, we see that she is getting 'fired' from the latest company that she helped start up. She is put on gardening leave which basically means that she is not allowed to get another job until that gardening leave ends so that she doesn't poach staff or business from the company she no longer works for. She's not used to having not a lot to do so we see her figuring out what she is going to do. She meets her neighbour Matt and the two form a friendship as Matt is also on a 'forced leave' from his job.
What I enjoyed the most was the friendship between Jasmine and Mike and how that evolves, especially when Mike meets Jasmine's vulnerable sister. There is also the relationship between Jasminie and her sister, which evolves a bit in the second half of the story, which was interesting to lean and follow.
A slow paced story with not a lot of action but that was to be expected. This was more a story about change for a lot of the characters in this story.
