Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Unmumsy Mum
Beth has never stuck at anything.
She's quit more jobs and relationships than she can remember, and she still sleeps in her childhood bedroom. It's not that she hasn't tried to grow up; it's just that so far, the only commitment she's held down is Friday drinks at the village pub.
Then, in the space of a morning, her world changes.
An unspeakable tragedy turns Beth's life upside down, and she finds herself guardian to her teenage niece and toddler nephew, catapulted into an unfamiliar world of bedtime stories, parents' evenings and cuddly elephants. Having never been responsible for anyone—or anything—it's not long before she feels seriously out of her depth.
What if she's simply not up to the job?
With a little help from her best friend, Jory (purely platonic, of course), and her lovely, lonely next-door neighbour, Albert, Beth is determined that this time she's not giving up. It's time to step up.
This is a story about digging deep for strength you never knew you had and finding magic in things that were there all along.
What the critics say
"Humour and heart are everywhere in this book, and I went from laughter to tears in the turn of a page. Wise, joyful and very, very funny—this is a book to devour, a book to share and a book to savour. I loved it." (Katie Marsh, author of Unbreak Your Heart)
