So what if she doesn't know how to write code? How hard can it be? Surely Connor - the team's overworked, aggravating, and distractingly hot leader - will soon realise how capable Annie is and be delighted to have her on board. Annie sets her sights on nailing it at her new job...even if it means ignoring the chemistry building between her and Connor. Also on her to do list is trying to (gently! supportively!) convince her sister to reconsider her engagement, not to mention trying to figure out why her roommate and best friend are acting weird. But with sparks flying at work and at home, she begins to see how complicated taking matters into her own hands can be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnnie thinks she knows it all, but does she really know everything?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback, 384 pages, published 7th May 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Rachel Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2521\" data-start=\"2430\"\u003eRachel Wood is a Canadian writer based in Edinburgh, and the founder of Rare Birds Bookshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2726\" data-start=\"2523\"\u003eShe began her career as a copywriter before launching the Rare Birds Book Club in 2017, an innovative and much-loved subscription that has built a devoted following for its thoughtful, curated approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3002\" data-start=\"2728\"\u003eAt the heart of Rare Birds is a clear mission: to champion female authors and introduce readers to brilliant books they might not have otherwise discovered from literary heavyweights to more accessible, escapist reads, all centred around women’s voices across every genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3173\" data-start=\"3004\"\u003eShe later opened Rare Birds Book Shop in 2021, which was named one of the UK’s most exciting new bookshops by\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-end=\"3132\" data-start=\"3114\"\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3222\" data-start=\"3175\"\u003e\u003cem data-end=\"3199\" data-start=\"3175\"\u003eAnnie Knows Everything\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emarks her debut novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFAQs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Will I be sent an e-ticket before the event?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that we will have a guest list on the door on the night of the event, and you will not be sent an e-ticket for it - simply let us know your name\/the name of the person who booked your ticket when you arrive, and we'll check you in! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Can I collect my book at the event?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopies can be collected on the night at the event, or alternatively if you would like to read the book before attending copies can be collected or posted to you in advance.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on Covid precautions: if you feel unwell on the day, please err on the side of caution, and please take a lateral flow test before attending, if you can.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Night Owl Books","offers":[{"title":"Includes book (admits one)","offer_id":56860710109562,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Entrance only (admits one)","offer_id":56860710142330,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/2178\/1163\/files\/AnnieKnowsEverythingbyRachelWoodNightOwlBooksevent.png?v=1778087986","url":"https:\/\/nightowlbooks.co.uk\/products\/annie-knows-everything-in-conversation-with-rachel-wood-24th-august","provider":"Night Owl Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
