About this eBook

Praise for Cathy Hopkins:‘Warm, wise and full of heart’ Lucy Diamond‘Funny and feelgood’ Good Housekeeping‘Warm, funny and uplifting’ Reader’s Digest

When a boxset of Broadchurch is more appealing than having sex with your husband, then perhaps it’s time to hide the remote...

Cait and Matt have been married for 30 years. They are rock solid. An inspiration to others. Stuck together like glue. But Cait can’t shake off the feeling that something is missing. The whole world should be their oyster now that Matt has retired, so why does she feel shut up like a clam?

Things get more complicated when Tom Lewis, the man who broke her heart at university, makes a reappearance – still as charming as ever. Her friends, widow Lorna and newly-single Debs, have their own views of what Cait should do – but she isn’t in the mood to listen.

When Tom makes Cait an unexpected offer, Cait feels the pull of a different life. Has she got the guts to take the plunge, or does it take more courage to give her marriage another chance?

Funny and thoughtful, this is a book for anyone who ever wondered . . . what if?

What a great story about a mature marriage, with plenty of humour along the way! Cait and Matt have survived 30 years of marriage. Matt heads off to work each day while his wife Cait, after many years as a teacher, works only part time to allow her to write the best selling novel she's been dreaming of for a long time. But then things change and suddenly their marriage doesn't seem quite as comfortable. This is an entertaining read with it's roots firmly in realism. After children grow up and leave home, many couples realise that over the years they have stopped making an effort and are just rolling along out of habit. So how do they recapture the magic - and, do they both want to? I have giggled my way through this one, laughing and nodding my head throughout. My only complaint would be that everything was tied up in a bit of a rush, contrary to the pace of the rest of the novel. Certainly an author to read again, that's for sure. To my shame, this is another which has been stuck at the bottom of my tbr list for far too long, especially considering it's so good!
