Summary

Emily Henry meets Ted Lasso in this wickedly funny and deeply heartfelt football romance from a must-read new voice in the romance space.

One new job. One star footballer. One rule: keep it professional.

Abby McIntyre doesn’t care about soccer - sorry, football. She only applied for the marketing job at Mersey FC to get away from her cheating fiancé in Boston. Now, she’s in a new country with no social life and an Instagram feed full of men in tiny shorts.

Enter Lachla…

I just could. Not. Stop. Reading - I 100% fell for Abby and Lachlan. I challenge you to pick up this book and not forget about the rest of your life! * Cressida McLaughlin *
Abby Offsides shines with sparkling banter and charming characters. This slow-burn sports romance is absolutely worth the wait… . Delightful! * Carley Fortune *
This book made me care about soccer—or football, rather—for the first time since Ted Lasso. A charming debut romance that will make you want to fall in love with someone who has both a great accent and fabulous thigh muscles * Emma Straub *
Irresistibly charming, Anna McCallie has written characters you’ll want to befriend, a leading man you’d leave your husband for! An addictive, funny love story that’s the sweet escapism we all need in our lives right now * Fran Littlewood *
A big-hearted story about finding love and community in unexpected places … A character filled with longing, laughs and a little healthy competition, Abby is as funny and relatable as the novel itself. I found myself rooting for Abby, Lachlan and Mersey Football Club from the opening chapter of this sparklingly life-affirming debut * Ella Berman *
