THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, PICKED FOR THE ZOE BALL TV BOOK CLUB


The past has a habit of tracking us down. And tripping us up.

When Kate was twenty-two, she had an intense and passionate affair with a married man, Callum, which ended in heartbreak. Kate thought she'd never get over it.

Seventeen years later, life has moved on - Kate, now a successful actress, is living in London, married to Matt and mother to little Tallulah. Meanwhile Callum and his wife Belinda are happy together, living in Edinburgh and watching their kids grow up. The past, it would seem, is well and truly behind them all.

But then Kate meets Callum again.

And they are faced with a choice: to walk away from each other . . . or to risk finding out what might have been.

Second chances are a rare gift in life. But that doesn't mean they should always be taken . . .

In her unmissable debut, actress and screenwriter Ruth Jones shows us the dangers of trying to recapture that which was once lost and failing to realise the beauty of what we already have.

I totally loved this book because of these ease of the way the characters bundled along.
The performance would have got a 5 star but when the new chapter number comes up, it is blurted out and doesn’t leave a second to take in the moment of appreciation and thoughts for the end of a chapter.
Most enjoyed book and audible for a long time- the peaks and troughs of life.
Thank you Ruth Jones.

Really enjoyed this. felt well written and the characters really came alive for me. I did struggle with the narration a bit as it seemed the chapter numbers had been put in after and they were really abrupt and distracting.

Great!

This was a brilliant book. Be careful what you wish for! The grass is rarely greener. Narration was spot on and I actually cared about the characters. I wanted to know more but it ended perfectly. Get it made for TV Ruth Jones.

Loved it!
