'Real, heart-breaking -
I loved it' Katie Fforde

'A heartwarming romantic comedy that tells us to be brave and to listen to our hearts' Veronica Henry

What happens when 'I do' turns into 'I don't know'?

Jeannie always wanted to fall in love, and now she's finally got the whirlwind romance she dreamed of. Dan's gorgeous, he's a successful young vet, and he flew her to New York and proposed on Brooklyn Bridge. Jeannie has to remind herself this is actually her life. It seems too perfect, too magical, to be real. Yet it is.

But now she's on her way to the wedding she can't shake off the tight sensation crushing her chest. Is it just nerves . . . or is this all happening a bit too fast?

Jeannie has one last chance to shout, 'Stop!' But just as she grabs it, a twist of fate throws everything she knows into the air like confetti. What Jeannie learns about Dan, about her own heart, and about the power of love itself, will change her world for ever . . .

Pre-order Lucy's uplifting new novel, After the Rain, coming in spring 2022!

Critics Review

  • ‘Real, heartbreaking – I loved it’

    Katie Fforde
  • ‘My heart is smashed and repaired for reading this wonderfully romantic and strong piece of fiction.’

    Milly Johnson
  • A glorious tangle of cold feet and mixed messages, Unexpected Lessons in Love is a heartwarming romantic comedy that tells us to be brave and to listen to our hearts. Suffused with Lucy’s trademark warmth and gentle humour (with a splendid canine supporting cast), it’s sure to win your heart. Irresistible!

    Veronica Henry
  • ‘Such a great ‘what would you do?’ book about love, truth, friendship and of course dogs. Kept me guessing all the way.’

    Laura Kemp
  • A wonderful read
