This is a definite long shot but this has been driving me crazy for YEARS!!! Aroun 2010-2012 I read a book that appeared to be a spin off series from Marian Keyes’s book “other side of the story”. I remember it was about a set of characters, one of whom was a girl who won the lottery and moved to a small town (I’m pretty sure it was an Irish town) where they were filming a movie based on the novel written in “other side of the story” by Marian Keyes called Mimi’s Remedies. I remember she bought a house next to an artist who ended up becoming her boyfriend and there was definitely more than one book in the series but I can’t for the life of me remember who the author was. I’m 99% certain the author was female and her last name started with a letter at the end of the alphabet (“w” maybe?) but I’ve scoured the internet and have never been able to find anything even close. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, the novel would’ve been published sometime in the late 2000’s (2008-2012 maybe). I’m putting this out there to the Goodreads universe and hoping something will come back! Thanks so much :)

I've not read this, but it sounds like Living The Dream might be your book. I Googled movie "Mimi's Remedies", and this result says:
Marian Keyes' The Other Side of the Story features a heroine called Lily, who writes an instantly successful chick lit novel called Mimi’s Remedies. Kate Thompson's Living The Dream makes direct, and positive, reference to Mimi’s Remedies, and, thus, to Marian Keyes' work:
'Mimi’s Remedies!' said Dannie. 'Oh – I love that. What did you think of it? I know it wasn't high art or anything, but it made me weep buckets.'
'Me too!' Cleo was delighted to have found someone that she didn't have to pretend with. She'd never have been able to confess to Margot that she'd enjoyed something as commercial as Mimi’s Remedies.
Oh my goodness Kimari you’ve found it!!! Thank you so much I can’t tell you how much it’s driven me crazy not knowing! Thank you again!
