*** CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS AUTHOR OF THE YEAR 2022***

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF GROWN UPS, MARIAN KEYES

'JUST BRILLIANT'
SUNDAY TIMES
___________

'Myself and Hugh . . . We're taking a break.'

'A city-with-fancy-food sort of break?'


If only.


Amy's husband Hugh says he isn't leaving her.

He still loves her, he's just taking a break - from their marriage, their children and, most of all, from their life together.

Six months in South-East Asia. And nothing she says can stop him.

But when does a break become a break-up?

A lot can happen in six months. And it's enough to send Amy and her family of gossips, misfits and troublemakers teetering over the edge.

When Hugh returns, if he returns, will he be the same man she married?

Will Amy be the same woman?


Because if Hugh is on a break from their marriage, then . . . isn't she on one too?

Jumbaz ,

Stunning

Beautifully written, couldn’t put it down.

Tansy Mull ,

Outstanding

I read this book when it was released last year and it blew me away, it tugged at my heartstrings, and gave me hope for family and the future, the characters are easy to identify with and I’ve loved every second of reading it....it’s a thoroughly outstanding book that I want to read again and again, (and have done so, each time still as memorising as the first)...
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did/do!
