‘So real, wise and funny…an absolute triumph!’ Katie Fforde
When her daughter, Ellie, brings home a new boyfriend, Clare can’t put her finger on why she feels troubled by it. Is it because he’s attractive and closer to her in age? Or maybe she’s just jealous because all of her own husband’s passion seems to go into maintaining his wine cellar.
Ellie’s colleague, Anna, is feeling restless too. She’s much younger than her husband and definitely isn’t ready for crosswords and comfy slippers. When a new colleague starts to show an interest in her, it ignites a spark of attraction that feels impossible to ignore.
They say age isn’t everything – can the women focus on what really matters and live life, and love, to the full?

Some days Bee feels invisible. Most days Bee does not feel as if she is ‘living her best life’. Sure she has a loyal group of friends, a job she’s good at and a small London flat to call home, but a lot of the time, Bee feels as if no one actually ‘sees’ her. Her best friend, the unfeasibly handsome and successful Luca Donato, does not have that problem. People are practically falling over themselves whenever they see Luca, but one thing the two friends do have in common is they haven’t yet found the ‘One’.
