Description

The #1 Sunday Times bestselling author, whose books so many love, brings us a fresh, contemporary story of a woman and her unruly blended family


Welcome to the Kennedy household:


There's Lila who wrote a bestseller about keeping your marriage alive. Now divorced, she watches her ex play happy families with another woman.


There's Bill - her stepdad - who moved in after Lila's mum died. He's kind, old-fashioned and loves lentils just a little too much.


Celie, Lila's eldest, hates school. Hates it so much she's stopped going. Her mother's fine with that - because she doesn't know yet.


Violet is nine and sings age-inappropriate rap songs, laughs at fart jokes and Lila dearly hopes she'll never, ever change.


Lastly, there's Truant the dog. He's just taken a bite out of the American actor who's suddenly landed on the Kennedy's doorstep.


This is Gene - Lila's estranged father, and no one's idea of a role model. He walked out on Lila and her mum years ago - and wherever he goes domestic discord follows.


Because Gene's presence changes things in unexpected ways. Soon the girls discover a kindred spirit in a man always chasing life's joys. Bill even loosens up. And Lila finds herself, astonishingly, dating.Something is happening to the Kennedy household - but what is it?And will it break, or save their family?
