It's about life. It's about love. It's about us.
From the bestselling author of Sunday Dinners and Dan And Nat Got Married, comes a bittersweet comedy about a marriage, about how it begins, how it falls apart, and the choices we're forced to make. Perfect for fans of Mike Gayle and David Nicholls.
Rosie Willis isn't happy. Her once perfect marriage to husband, Pete, is falling apart, her mother is dying, and her three children are starting to feel like strangers. At forty she feels like she's stuck, but then she meets handsome widower, Mark Hornby, at the school gates and he makes her feel alive again.
As she drifts further from Pete, she gets closer to Mark, but approaching Christmas she realises she needs to try to save her marriage and keep her family together. Despite her feelings, she can't have an affair. Unfortunately, Pete has news of his own that throws everything into doubt.
Rosie must choose a new life. There's Pete, Mark, or going it alone. It isn't easy when you're forty, when you have three kids, when you feel past it, when your mother is dying, but life isn't meant to be easy.
