What to expect

The laugh-out-loud, uplifting read from the bestselling author of Worn Out Wife Seeks New Life

Sasha Greenhope has a very lovely life.

Her marriage is solid, her only daughter is delightful, and the family business is going full steam ahead.

The only blip on the horizon is the upcoming family reunion for her parents 40th wedding anniversary at Chadwell House – the family pile.

Sasha just does not fit with her rich family.

Her French mother, Delphine thinks everything Sasha does is a faux pas.. And siblings, Adele and Beau, are clearly the favourites, leaving Sasha surplus to requirements

So when Sasha’s husband Ben takes this exact moment to reveal that they are about to go bankrupt, Sasha wants to be anywhere but stuck in a lavish marquee!

Swallowing her pride, and a whole bottle of fizz, Sasha determines to ask her family for help – and maybe even a loan – only to discover that her parents and siblings are all keeping secrets of their own!

Family secrets, warring siblings and a disastrous reunion… what could possibly go right?!

Another brilliant laugh-out-loud emotional read, perfect for fans of Fiona Gibson, Tracy Bloom and Sophie Ranald!
