500 Miles from You: A Novel Kindle Edition
What happens when two medical professionals--ex Army medic from a village in the Scottish Highlands and an inner city nurse from inner-city London—switch jobs for three months and become unlikely pen pals?
Lissa, is a nurse in a gritty, hectic London neighborhood. Always terribly competent and good at keeping it all together, she’s been suffering quietly with PTSD after helping to save the victim of a shocking crime. Her supervisor quietly arranges for Lissa to spend a few months doing a much less demanding job in the little town of Kirrinfeif in the Scottish Highlands, hoping that the change of scenery will help her heal. Lissa will be swapping places with Cormack, an Army veteran who’s Kirrinfeif’s easygoing nurse/paramedic/all-purpose medical man. Lissa’s never experienced small-town life, and Cormack’s never spent more than a day in a big city, but it seems like a swap that would do them both some good.
In London, the gentle Cormack is a fish out of the water; in Kirrinfief, the dynamic Lissa finds it hard to adjust to the quiet. But these two strangers are now in constant contact, taking over each other’s patients, endlessly emailing about anything and everything. Lissa and Cormack discover a new depth of feeling…for their profession and for each other.
But what will happen when Lissa and Cormack finally meet…?

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There are two main characters one in London and one in a village in Scotland (500 miles away) and she does jump back and forth every chapter between them, which was kinda confusing right at first. But, I caught on quickly and just went with the flow.
I will absolutely be reading more of her books.
So, curl up in a comfy chair with a cup of tea and enjoy it too!
Sorry spoiler alert .
Characters were great and well built up , but then at the end you just left me like “oh ok ! let’s move on “and then there was a character who was not talked about much brought in at the end in the follow up like you forgot to mention this but ...
I don’t know the two main people should had a better come together. Just didn’t wrap it up at the end for me
She writes in a way that you can picture yourself in the place very easily-- and want to go there to meet her wonderful characters. This book deals with heavier issues than previous ones, but in a way that brings out the best in many people.
