Publisher Description

‘Brilliant, from the first page I was hooked. Full of romance and so heart-warming and makes you laugh out loud … worth far more than the five stars … just simply brilliant’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

An absolutely hilarious, laugh-‘til-you-cry, romantic comedy about how life never quite goes to plan…

Faye is in crisis. You wouldn’t know it, because of the big fat smile on her face, but inside, she’s one step away from nuclear meltdown. And she shouldn’t be. Dan is the man of her dreams. And he’s just asked her to marry him.

But Faye’s been down the marriage road before and it ended up with her having Ryan Gosling fantasies while her ex-husband obsessed about the plumbing. Faye and Dan, on the other hand, have been living their lives to the fullest, travelling around the world, having sex under the stars... They've never argued about unrolling socks before putting them in the laundry.

Besides, even if she wanted to say yes, how could she move to the other side of the world? Because marrying Dan would mean living in Australia. Beautiful, warm and a gazillion miles from Faye’s daughter, Emma, a single mum with her own crazy little girl who both need Faye every single day. Leaving them – even for someone who makes her as happy as Dan – simply isn’t an option.

Dan is offering Faye everything she ever wanted. So why does she feel like she’s about to lose it all?

The most screamingly-funny romantic comedy of the summer – about secrets, second chances and following your heart. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Jill Mansell and Milly Johnson.

Love, Lies and Wedding Cake Reviews

3.5
“Unfortunately a sequel that does not live up to the original in my eyes. I really connected with Faye and her journey in the first book, but the lack of communication between her and Dan in this book was incredibly frustrating. Why did they need to break up? Why not stay connected long distance (like she does later with her family) while they work toward their individual goals? And then the role reversal when she finally decided to move and throw herself back into his life felt very contrived. Dan having cold feet was no reason for not telling her everything about his new life before she uprooted what remained of her life. I’m glad it all worked out for them in the end and that Saffron, the baby momma, actually ended up NOT being a terrible/irredeemable person (but rather a mirror for Faye herself); but between the repetitive internal prose from chapter to chapter, spelling/grammar issues, and the cliched and lackluster story, I was left more disappointed than content.”
