What to expect
Carrie Hayes has a job she enjoys and a perfectly nice boyfriend. She’s sorted. Isn’t she?
But Carrie’s life wasn’t always like this. As a young, wild drama student, she married fellow actor, Richard Maddox, after a whirlwind romance. Life back then was full of possibilities, but when Hollywood beckoned Richard, Carrie was left behind.
Now an A-list superstar, Richard’s life couldn’t be more different to Carrie’s, so when their paths cross in glamorous St Tropez, she can’t help but wonder what might have been.
But with lovely, sensible Alan in tow, Carrie knows she needs to do the right thing. The only problem is, Carrie and Richard never quite got round to getting a divorce…
Lose yourself this summer on the French Riviera, the perfect read for fans of Lucy Diamond and Jane Costello.

Praise for Jules’s fabulous debut ‘Talk to Me’, published by Choc Lit:
'A heart-warming debut.' – The Bookseller
'Jules Wake's "Talk to me" is the next wave in chick lit – it is a brilliant novel that is funny, clever and romantic.

If you can only take one book with you on holiday this year- then this is that book.' – Elder Park Book Reviews
