Story
London has not been kind to Lottie Allbright. Realising it’s time to cut and run, she packs up and moves back home - but finds her family in disarray. In need of a new place to stay, Lottie takes up the offer of a live-in job managing a local vineyard. There’s a lot to learn - she didn’t even know grapes could grow so far north! Butterworth Wines in the rolling Derbyshire hills has always been run on love and passion, but a tragic death has left everyone at a loss. Widowed Betsy is trying to keep the place afloat but is harbouring a debilitating secret.

Story
For Once in My Life is the first novel by British magazine columnist and editor Marianne Kavanagh. For years their friends have been telling them that they are ideal for each other, what with George's love for 1940s jazz music and Tess' preoccupation with vintage fashion. But while they almost encounter each other many times, something (a bout of gastro, a close friend's heartbreak, lost contact lenses) always prevents them from actually meeting.

Story
Laurie and Pete should never have met. But fate has pushed them together for a reason. Six months ago, on the same night, Laurie and Pete both lost their partners. Struggling to manage the grief, they join the same counselling group - and meet each other. From their sadness, Pete and Laurie find happiness growing, and they sense a fresh new beginning. Except, the more they talk, the more Laurie begins to spot the strange parallels in their stories. Then Pete discovers a truth that changes everything. But, as surely as a compass points north, some people cannot be kept apart.

Story
Lainey has just lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she's living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off obsessed fans for a retired - if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. Yes, everyone thinks she's part of a couple, and it's tricky keeping this secret. But at least she's not looking for love: with her disastrous relationship history, men are definitely off the agenda.

Summary
For fans of Jojo Moyes, David Nicholls and Sophie Kinsella, here is a Pride and Prejudice for the modern era.
Londoners Kim and Harry can't see eye to eye...until the life of the person they both love most hangs in the balance.
Kim has never grasped what her free-spirited big sister, Eva, sees in a stuck-up banker like Harry and has spent her childhood trying to keep him out while Harry's favourite occupation is winding Kim up.
Both Harry and Kim are too trapped in their prejudices to care about what's really going on beneath the surface of each other's lives. They'll never understand each other - until the worst of all tragedy strikes.
Faced with the possibility of losing the person they both love most, long-buried secrets come to a head in ways that will change both Harry and Kim forever.
Marianne Kavanagh is a former deputy editor of Marie Claire and has contributed to a wide variety of newspapers, magazines, and websites, including the Telegraph, Daily Mail, Guardian, My Daily, Easy Living and Red.
Her debut novel, For Once in My Life, was published in 2014. She lives in London.

Gone Girl Disappointment
My goodness why did we have to go through all that just to get to the less the satisfying end. They just get together and that's it. Reminds me of the Gone Girl disappointment and feeling used and cheeted out of a good satisfying end by the author.
What a waste of words and a good story. This book was hard to get into and understand, it took me about a month and the fact that I did not have anything else to listen to listen to it. The chapters are not clear therefore at times the story line changes as if it were just paragraph.

Bares no resemblance to Pride & Prejudice
I don't want to spoil it for you by going into detail, but the main character is aggravatingly stubborn and I can't believe anyone could have put up with her in real life. Oh and that mention of Pride and Prejudice in the description is completely misleading. This is about as romantic as reading the back of a cereal packet.

The most irritating characters
I didn't even finish this book as the characters were so irritating and I couldn't care less what happened to them!
