Hodder Paperbacks, Oct 2013

From the author of This Thirty Something Life comes a novel about people just like us. Four people. Two couples. Six months that will change their lives forever.

Kate wants to go travelling before she reaches the big Three-O, while her long-term boyfriend Ed just wants to settle down.

Jack is desperate to be a published writer for many reasons, but mainly to save his relationship with fiancée Emma. Emma wants to be an actress more than anything in the world, or at least that’s what she thought until she finds out she’s pregnant.

Told uniquely from all of their perspectives, this is a story about love, growing up and, of course, the search for a happy ending.

The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks. Published by Sphere, 17th September 2013.

From the man who has a gift for making me cry (in a good way) comes a tale of two couples, two love stories.

About the book:

Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson is in trouble. Struggling to stay conscious after a car crash, with his mind fading, an image of his adored – and long-dead – wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their life together – how they met, the dark days of WWII and its unrelenting effect on their families.

A few miles away, college student Sophia Danko’s life is about to change. Recovering from a break-up, she meets the young, rugged Luke and is thrown into a world far removed from her privileged school life. Sophia sees a new and tantalising future for herself, but Luke is keeping a secret that could destroy it all.

Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples, separated by years and experience, whose lives are about to converge in the most unexpected – and shocking – of ways.
