With two jobs and two children, Jess Thomas does her best day after day. But it's hard on your own. And sometimes you take risks you shouldn't. Because you have to . . .

Jess's gifted, quirky daughter Tanzie is brilliant with numbers, but without a helping hand she'll never get the chance to shine. And Nicky, Jess's teenage stepson, can't fight the bullies alone.
Sometimes Jess feels like they're sinking . . .

One handsome stranger
Into their lives comes Ed Nicholls, a man whose life is in chaos, and who is running from a deeply uncertain future. But he has time on his hands. He knows what it's like to be lonely. And he wants to help . . .

One unexpected love story

Critic reviews

The life-affirming novel will uplift your spirits and make you feel good
A love story, a road trip and family drama all rolled into one brilliant page turner. Jojo Moyes has triumphed again
Raw, funny, real and sad, this is storytelling at its best
A beautifully written modern love story from Britain's best contemporary female author
A funny, sweet and tender portrait of modern life in Britain, that covers some tough issues with the lightest of touches
Moyes is at the top of her game with this thought-provoking, emotional rollercoaster of a novel. It is astute, funny and ultimately, rather moving
Another beautifully written love story I relished
Compulsive reading
Quirky and memorable
A laugh-out-loud, rollicking good read and a very touching love story
All stars
