Three lives are about to change, whether they like it or not … A smart, gloriously feel-good debut for fans of David Nicholls and Jojo Moyes

Jake just wants to keep his family together. He’ll do anything to save his marrriage and bond with his six-year-old son, Alfie. But when he’s paired with spiky Emily, he wonders whether opening up will do more harm than good.

The two of them couldn’t be more different. Yet when Alfie, who never likes strangers, meets Emily, something extraordinary happens.
