  "description": "Opposites attract when a buttoned-up professor is forced to team up with a carefree doorman to restore her identity, which has magically disappeared from all records, in this sparkling romance about enjoying the life you have. ________________________ What if losing herself is the key to finding where she truly belongs? Catherine Lipton plans everything. After a chaotic childhood, the stability of her life as a maths professor is essential, even if, just sometimes, she wishes she could be someone else, someone with a totally different life. Catherine's tidy life is running smoothly until her entire identity - from her Social Security number to her driver's license to her academic record - mysteriously disappears and there's suddenly no evidence Catherine Lipton ever existed. With no ID and no other options, Catherine reluctantly accepts help from her exasperatingly laid-back - and infuriatingly attractive - doorman, Luca Morelli. Before long, by-the-book Catherine finds herself bending all the rules with the charismatic Luca - from taking meetings in smoky bars to breaking into hospital record rooms - and having a surprising amount of fun. As Catherine unravels the truth behind her identity's disappearance, she may discover that the real Catherine has been missing for a lot longer than she realised. ________________________ Praise for The Second Chance Year 'A touch of magic and a heap of self-growth animate this sparkling and sophisticated rom-com' Publishers Weekly, ★ starred review ★ 'A swoony romance with a subplot about harassment and sexism in the workplace, Wiesner's latest will resonate with every reader who's wondered, 'What if?'' Booklist, ★ starred review ★ 'An ambitious woman finding her way in the world and the heart-meltingly caring man who loves her for who she is combine to make this a charming romance' Library Journal 'A thoughtful exploration of Sadie's growth as well as the ingrained unfairness of being a woman in a man's world. Sadie is spunky and her outspoken sense of justice is wonderful. Tough themes with a light touch and many winning characters' Kirkus",
