‘A heartbreaking tale’ THE SUN
‘Exceptionally beautiful’ MIRANDA DICKINSON
They’ll always have each other…won’t they?
Lisa and Elliot have been best friends ever since the day they met as children. Popular, bright and sporty, Lisa was Elliot’s biggest supporter when the school bullies made his life a misery, and for that, he will always be grateful.
Twenty years later, life has pulled the pair apart and Lisa is struggling. Her marriage is floundering, her teenage kids are being secretive, and she’s so tired she can’t think straight. So when Elliot knocks on the door, looking much better than she remembers, she can’t help but be delighted to see her old friend again.
With Elliot back in their lives, Lisa’s family problems begin to improve – he’s like the fairy godmother she never had. As their bond deepens, she realises how much she’s missed him, and prays that this is one friendship that will last a lifetime. But sometimes, life has other ideas…
A heartwarming story perfect for fans of Keith Stewart and Jojo Moyes, that will leave you with a tear in your eye but hope in your heart.

Loved this book / in my top 10 books of all time.
A fabulous read
A great story - anyone who was a teenager in the 90s will particularly enjoy the vivid recreations of what growing up felt like, and the close bond between the 2 main characters
Loved this book
The third offering from S D Robertson was eagerly anticipated. It didn’t disappoint. The author is honing a real skill for creating and developing vividly-drawn characters that we can believe in and empathise with. His storytelling is equally believable - it’s fast-paced, but steady and thoughtful enough to accurately create the universe described. I practically read it in one sitting - no greater credit than that. I loved the 90’s nods, too. Very nostalgic, for me at least. Well done, S D - keep up the momentum - you deserve every success.
