‘Anna McPartlin delivers the goods again’
Cosmopolitan
Once Jane and Alexandra were inseparable – sharing adventures, secrets and big dreams for the future. But when Jane got pregnant at seventeen, they drifted apart.
Seventeen years later, Jane discovers Alexandra has disappeared and she sets about helping Alexandra’s broken-hearted husband, Tom, to find his wife.
But in searching for Alexandra, Jane is about to confront some big questions about herself. Like, what happened to the high-spirited seventeen-year-old she once was? What will happen if she stops trying to control the world? And does love really mean letting people go?
Two fractured people come together accidentally and in one another they find strength, friendship – and even the beginnings of hope …
The Space Between Us
‘A clever, emotional and gripping read … brilliantly written … This is a wonderfully deep and thoughtful novel and I enjoyed every minute I spent reading it’ Daily Mail
From babyhood Eve and Lily were best friends. But one huge fight and they stopped speaking. Seventeen years later, Eve wakes up from a horrific accident to find her old friend nursing her.
At first, their reunion is tentative but during Eve’s months in hospital they confront both the lies of the past and their present failures. And each clearly sees how the other needs to change her life – Lily must get out of an impossible marriage and Eve has to face up to the pain she has caused others.
The crisis that brought Eve and Lily together again seems like a blessing that has given them a second chance to be there for each other. Little do they suspect that their friendship is under a threat that will change the future forever …
Apart From The Crowd
‘Anna’s warmth and humour shine through as she takes the reader on a journey through laughter and tears’ U Magazine
To outsiders it looks as if Mary was born unlucky, but despite everything she has lost – even her little boy – deep down Mary believes in a happy ending. She just needs someone to remind her.
Mary’s friend Penny seems like the life and soul of every party, but appearances are deceptive and Penny needs to get a grip on her life. And their friends Ivan and Adam both need to man up and face their mistakes.
When a stranger arrives in their seaside village it looks like he has even bigger problems than anyone – but for all of them, especially Mary, he is going to electrify their lives.
Read, laugh, love with the incredible next book from Anna McPartlin …
