In Mind the Gap: A Glasgow Love Story, 20-year-old Icelandic traveler Arndis Lara Johannsd gains chaotic mind-reading and thought-manipulation powers after a cryptic old woman vanishes mid-flight. Struggling to control her abilities amid Glasgow's rain-soaked streets, she meets Ken Murray—a charming historian with a dry wit and a knack for dodging her psychic mishaps. As Lara accidentally turns strangers into penguins, convinces security guards to let her "borrow" museum armor, and meddles with romantic confessions, she and Ken navigate a whirlwind romance. But when Lara's powers spiral at the airport, leaving travelers questioning their life choices, she must decide whether to embrace her new identity or return to Iceland as the "old" her. Blending superhero satire with heartfelt moments, this quirky tale explores self-discovery, ethical dilemmas, and love sparked by a ghost in a Victorian cemetery. Perfect for fans of The Umbrella Academy meets Notting Hill, with a side of Norse magic.
