About this ebook
A story about finding happiness from the Sunday Times bestseller
What do you do when there's nothing left to lose?
Lily and Laurence had it all: the money, the car, a beautiful home in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Then Laurence loses his job and everything disappears.
With nowhere to turn, Lily and Laurence are forced to take their two young children and move to a notoriously rough estate. As they try to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, Lily constantly dreams of returning to her old, luxurious life. Will her dream come true or will she learn that money doesn't always buy happiness?

I bought this when it was first released in real book form. Absolutely loved it. I lent it so many people, singing its praises. I can't remember the last person who borrowed it from me, but it never came home. I was desperate to read it again so I bought the ebook. If that doesn't tell you how good this book is, that I have bought it twice, then nowt will. I love Carole Matthews. She is amazing. I have read every single book she has published and they never ever disappoint. Read and enjoy, peeps!
