Rebuilding Alexandra Small

Sometimes starting again doesn’t arrive with drama or disaster. Sometimes it arrives quietly, once the life you thought you were building no longer fits.

Alexandra Small is forced to reassess her choices, her relationships, and her sense of self when the path she assumed she was on begins to unravel. Living in Brighton, she finds herself navigating the uneasy space between independence and loneliness, certainty and desire, and the versions of herself she has been holding together.

As Alexandra tentatively opens herself to change, she meets Tomas, an estate agent whose own life has been shaped by restraint and compromise. Their connection is slow, complicated, and refreshingly honest. It offers no grand gestures or easy answers, only the unsettling possibility that rebuilding something real might be worth the risk.

Told with dry humour, emotional honesty, and quiet confidence, Rebuilding Alexandra Small is a contemporary British romantic novel that prioritises character and consequence over spectacle. A grounded, adult love story about rebuilding trust and intimacy from the inside out.

Perfect for readers who loved the emotional intelligence of Lisa Doyle Is Absolutely Fine and are looking for reflective romance with real weight.
