Rediscover the hilarious, poignant and insightful first novel from the now worldwide no. 1 bestselling author

On the day she gives birth to her first child, Claire's husband James tells her he's been having an affair.

Left with a beautiful baby and a broken heart, she decides to go back to basics . . . and runs home to Mum and Dad.

But it's not the sanctuary she'd been hoping for. Juggling her family's drama and the demands of a baby, Claire desperately misses the way things were. So when James gets back in touch, eager to put things right, Claire faces a choice.

Will she forgive and forget? Or can she find the courage to take a chance on herself, and start a life of her own?
