An uplifting, heartwarming story from the number one bestselling author.

How do you rebuild your life when it changes forever in an instant?

Thirty-five-year-old Victoria Sharpe has a decent job as an illustrator, a perfectly good if predictable relationship, and great friends. So why can't she shake the feeling that something is missing?

Keen to let off steam, she sets off on a night out with her best friends. Next morning - one reckless decision later - she resolves to make some seriously overdue changes to achieve the fulfilment she craves.

Then she gets devastating news that shatters everything she ever wanted for her future.

Or so she thinks. Because as friends and family rally around to support her, and an unexpected new romance causes her heart to skip a beat, Victoria discovers that sometimes in the deepest darkness the brightest light can shine through. But, after all she's been through, can she let it in?

This uplifting, heartwarming story from number one bestselling author Nicola May will have you reaching for the tissues. An unputdownable, unforgettable read, perfect for fans of Shari Low, Jill Mansell and Amanda Prowse.

'Nicola packs a punch in this joyous story about love and family, healing and hope. Singular, strong and sensitively written.' Milly Johnson, bestselling author of The Happiest Ever After

"I found this book to be utterly engrossing. The subject matter has never been in my experience but the way that it is dealt with is entirely spellbinding.

Nicola writes with a tact which draws in the reader and helps you to be totally in the book. She makes you believe in her.

Her character studies are so real and clever.

The book is set mostly in London and surrounding areas including Windsor and Wandsworth. She does also take us to the Lake District.

The "Three Musketeers" do visit Brighton and somewhere sunny away from England which does involve foreign travel to give the reader a sense of excitement but for the most part it is set in the Uk.

Her description of all of these places helps the reader to really feel that they are actually there. So vivid!

There were a couple of riverside benches by the Thames where the Victoria visited and spent some time with a friend and but also alone. I thought that I was there!

During the whole of the book she takes you into the place with her imagery.

I totally enjoyed the book and thoroughly recommend it."
