Publisher Description

It's not easy being the mother of a 12-year-old boy who's in love with his babysitter and having trouble at school. Nor are matters helped by the unexpected arrival of an elderly mother who's suddenly footloose and fancy-free. There are times when Susie Vine wonders how she'll ever survive. At least she feels secure at Arland & Shaw, London's leading theatrical agency.

But, as the New Year beckons, Susie feels something's missing. Then the man who broke her heart comes back into her life. Or is the man for her waiting in the wings elsewhere?

"Chick Lit is so good when done well and Pauline McLynn has done a great job here. So hard to reconcile Mrs Doyle from Father Ted to the author of Bright Lights and Promises though. Really well constructed look at how the growing up process continues until death. Loved it."

    " This started off really well but I felt it lost its way about two thirds of the way through. I found that I had no interest in the sub-plots of Milo at school and Lola's quest for love. It became a case of just wanting to finish it. Have to admit though that an element of the ending was a shock. "

    " I felt that this was a real missed opportunity to use a setting that McLynn must know well to tell a contemporary tale. I was ticked off, she's written far more interesting novels in the past and I was really looking forward to this one. Never finished it. "

    " I've read all her books, the Leo Street series is my favourite. This book is a bit chicklit but well written. "
