The Second Draft of Us
After a messy breakup and a stalled manuscript, Mara Bell takes a temporary editing job in Newcastle, where she is meant to help rescue other people’s books, not her own life. Then she is paired with a quiet local bookseller who notices the small things she keeps trying to edit out of herself. Their slow-burn connection grows around deadlines, family obligations and the awkward business of wanting something that might not fit neatly on the page.
