A new romantic comedy from the author of Five Bush Weddings
In a town like South Star, everyone knows Sarah Childs' name, face, entire history ... and the fact she's just been dumped by Johnno West.
Sarah would happily keep to herself on their property, Dunromin, for the rest of her days. But now her parents are refusing to put her in charge until she spends a year getting more involved in the local community and, yes, dating. Well. She'll show them community spirit. She'll be Miss bloody South Star if that's what it takes. How hard can it be?
Under small-town surveillance Sarah rekindles neglected friendships and throws herself in the dating deep end (recruiting the Bush Telegraph, Mabel Peters, to matchmake for her). She joins a new women's rugby team, the Pink Cockatoos, and even the bristly new cop in town, Sergeant Smith, can't slow Sarah's race to keep up appearances as the perfect daughter, citizen and girlfriend.
As Sarah moves in with Mabel to help catalogue her vast wardrobe - bringing up memories of Mabel's beauty pageant past and long-lost friend Rose - vintage fashion might not be all that comes out of the closet.
Wonderfully funny and very Australian, Love Match is a story about learning a new game, figuring out who you are, and maybe even finding real love.
