Pick Me Up

Bonnie is a young professional who already has everything she needs:

A great career 

A successful social life 

Exactly the right number of hobbies 

This perfectly curated existence needs no interruption but when she’s knocked off her skis by Nick in the French Alps, Bonnie is forced to re-evaluate the difference between need and want. Suddenly, her ski-all-day, snooze-all-night holiday with her favourite (and only) sister is interrupted by the appearance of Nick and his family. 

One week in the mountains shows Bonnie that while she has everything she needs, she has a lot to learn about life, love and the power of coincidence.

The setting of this novel, La Plagne, is a real ski resort high up in the French Alps, not too far from Tignes and the Three Valleys resorts.
It’s a resort with a lot of blue and red runs but very few black runs and just one green.
Bonnie Green wouldn’t touch a green run with a barge pole but the rest of the resort offers a wide range of options.
It’s a great choice of holiday destination for families, groups or younger people because it has plenty for everyone, including of course, apres ski.
Generally, the more a skier (or snowboarders if we’re treating everyone equally), leans into the sport, trusts their own body and their own skis, the better they are at skiing.
Occasionally, as Bonnie finds out pretty quickly in Pick Me Up, a skier can get too cocky and find out how quickly pride can be followed by a fall.
