Synopsis
Who does an advice columnist ask for help?
Thirty-six-ish, well, thirty-eight . . . no, actually, thirty-nine-year-old advice columnist Rose Costelloe thought she'd solved all her problems when she got married after a whirlwind two-month courtship. But seven months and an extremely public smash-up later (embarrassing, when you dole out relationship wisdom for a living), things are looking thorny for Rose. Her job's in jeopardy, her finances are in shambles and she's being plagued by a stalker who seems to know rather a lot about the mysterious circumstances of her birth.
Sometimes rescue comes from an unexpected source . . .
Her zany friends suggest she get a roommate, and at first Theo, a geeky accountant, seems like the perfect choice for resolutely single Rose. Soon, however, she's seeing stars -- Theo has a secret passion for astronomy . . . and he might just be fond of his prickly redheaded landlady, as well. Will Rose be able to chart her own course?
From the bestselling author of The Trials of Tiffany Trott, The Making of Minty Malone, and Out of the Blue comes a tale of star-crossed lovers who, though they live under the same roof, might as well be on different planets.

From Booklist
Rose Costelloe is a 39-year-old "agony aunt" (an advice columnist) whose own life is in turmoil. She thought she'd found the perfect man in Ed Wright when their whirlwind courtship ended in marriage. But Ed felt threatened by her job, and their constant fighting--not to mention Ed's infidelity with their marriage counselor--drove them apart. Determined to get back on her feet, Rose purchases a house and seeks a roommate to help offset the costs. Enter Theo, a quiet, thoughtful young man who is ten years Rose's junior. Rose starts to feel something for Theo, but she is concerned her neighbor, Beverly, might have similar feelings for him. And then there's Ed, who has decided that he made a mistake and wants Rose back. Tackling a variety of subjects from a possible stalker to Rose's complicated feelings about being adopted, Wolff, author of Out of the Blue (2003), has penned another charming romantic comedy.
