A new edition of the unforgettable literary love story. 'Truly lives up to the hype.' Diana Reid

Mother, writer, worker, sister, friend, citizen, daughter, (sort of) wife. If she could be one, perhaps she could manage. Trying to be all, she found she was none.

Coralie grew up in Australia but needed to escape some ghosts. Adrift in London, she meets witty, sexy, generous Adam-and his charming four-year-old daughter. Falling in love is fun. And then?

Coralie yearns for children of her own, and to become a writer. But her trips back to Australia change her perspective. Ten years on, something essential is missing.

In this unforgettable story about what 'happily ever after' might truly mean, Jessica Stanley writes about life as we live it, and reveals how our intimate dramas can get tangled up with the public events of our times.

An honest, entertaining and intelligent portrait of a woman in love, Consider Yourself Kissed will capture your heart.

PRAISE-

'Consider Yourself Kissed is a love story like no other- charming, warm, heartfelt and funny but with a truly razor-like authenticity. I absolutely loved every moment and didn't want it to end!' Liane Moriarty

'This summer's must-read ... A sparkly enjoyable romantic comedy like One Day and Normal
People' The Times

'Fresh and sparkling...This charming literary romance queries the endgame in romance fiction, the happily-ever-after, in a way that lingers.' Age

'Consider Yourself Kissed is a smart literary love story and an absorbing family drama. Jessica Stanley follows her characters over the years as they make their way in the private, intricate, fragile world they create for themselves, and in the always-changing larger world. This is a deeply appealing and winning novel.' Meg Wolitzer

'Fabulous...It's clever, joyful, familiar and awkward, and so funny.' Nina Stibbe, author Reasons to Be Cheerful

'Sweet and tender.' Pandora Sykes, author of How Do We Know We're Doing it Right?

'Utterly brilliant-so astonishingly clever, but with a core of love. It's generous, it's hopeful, it's one of the very best grown-up love stories I have ever read. And wears its smartness so lightly, but it captures the strangeness of the past few years perfectly. I could not have adored it more.' Daisy Buchanan, author of How to Be a Grown-up
