The Angelica Touch

Author(s): L J Sedgwick

Location(s): County Donegal

Genre(s): RomCom, Fiction

Era(s): 2010

Angelica, 14, has reached three conclusions. Firstly, her mother Molly, who manages a rundown Victorian hotel perched on the wild Drisogue peninsula in Donegal, is desperately lonely. (She’s not.) Secondly, it’s entirely her fault that Molly is still single. (It might be.) Thirdly, since she can hardly have a boyfriend of her own if Number Two is true, it’s up to her to find her mother a man. (It really isn’t.)
Given her dangerously impressive gift for matchmaking, Angelica’s solution is to develop a dating website for her mum. With the questions devised by Angelica and best friend, Grace, what could possibly go wrong?

The Angelica Touch is the magical story of what might happen if you were a single parent and your teenage daughter decided to organise your love-life. From the same pen as the novel Dad’s Red Dress (2017), it’s an upbeat and humorous romantic rollercoaster set in the first three months of 2010. It’s about doing something for the very best of reasons that makes everything worse… until it doesn’t.
