      Following her national bestsellers, British author Jane Green presents a charming story of old friends reuniting and past jealousies resurfacing. Catherine Warner and Simon Nelson, best friends and polar opposites, navigate their lives in London’s West Hampstead, both struggling with love. Cath, scatterbrained and emotionally guarded after a heartbreak, contrasts sharply with Si, who is tidy and eager for romance. Their circle includes lifelong friends Josh and Lucy, a married couple with a challenging child and a formidable Swedish nanny, Ingrid. The dynamics shift with the return of Portia, a stunning college friend known for her heart-breaking ways. Although the group welcomes her back, her arrival raises questions about her intentions and reignites tensions among them. As their friendships are tested, Cath finds distraction in her bold choice to leave her advertising job to pursue her dream of opening a bookstore. Complicating matters is James, a charming real-estate agent whose frequent visits spark a potential romance. With her signature wit, Green explores the complexities of friendship, love, and ambition in a narrative filled with warmth and unexpected twists, making this her most dazzling novel yet.

Stuck in a loveless relationship with her boyfriend, Mark, Julia thinks a baby is the answer . . . but she may want a baby more than she wants her boyfriend.

Maeve, on the other hand, is allergic to commitment. A feisty, red-haired, high-power career girl, she cherishes her ability to do just as she pleases and breaks out in a rash every time she passes a stroller. But when her no-strings-attached nightlife leads to an unexpected pregnancy, her reaction may be just as unexpected.And then there’s Samantha—happily married and eager to be the perfect June Cleaveresque mother. But baby George brings only exhaustion, extra pounds, and marital strife to her once tidy life. Is having an affair with a friend’s incredibly sexy husband the answer?

      Libby ha ventisette anni e lavora come PR a Londra, un lavoro che ama per il contatto con celebrità e locali esclusivi, anche se le spese per l'abbigliamento di alta moda pesano sul suo bilancio. Tuttavia, il suo vero desiderio è trovare l'uomo dei suoi sogni, poiché la vita da single in un mondo di coppie è diventata insostenibile. Se il futuro marito fosse anche ricco, sarebbe un ulteriore vantaggio! Mentre attende il grande colpo, Libby si concede un flirt, ignorando i consigli della sua migliore amica Jules, che la mette in guardia sui flirt privi di impegno a una certa età. Nick, il suo amante, è affascinante e divertente, ma è anche disoccupato e vive in un tugurio, sperando di affermarsi come scrittore. Quando Nick decide di interrompere la loro relazione, Libby si sente distrutta e inizia a uscire con Ed, un uomo ricco e generoso, ma privo di esperienza e carisma. Ora Libby deve decidere se seguire il suo cuore per Nick, che vive una vita distante dalla sua, o scegliere Ed, che può offrirle la vita che ha sempre sognato.

      Love is not an abstract idea. It is not saying 'I'm here for you, let me know if you need me'. It's making the decision, when someone close to you is in trouble, about what you will DO to fix as much as you can for them. It's a 'doing' thing. A verb. For Callie, love is about looking after her family - her husband and two children - and their beautiful home. For Steff, Callie's younger sister, love is about experiencing all that life has to offer without having to ever settle down. For Lila, Callie's best friend, love is about finding a soulmate. And when she meets divorced father-of-two Eddie, she knows her search is over. For Walter and Honor, Callie and Steff's divorced parents, love is about caring for the daughters they share. Then Callie gets some life-changing news. And suddenly the whole family is about to understand what 'love' really, really means....
