Charley Lambert ha dedicato la sua vita al lavoro e al suo capo, di cui è innamorata. Quando si rompe una gamba, la sua vita subisce un brusco cambiamento: è costretta a fermarsi e scopre che il suo capo sposa un'altra donna. Per non lasciarsi sopraffare dal dolore, fonda la First Date Aid, un servizio di ghost-writing per chi cerca l'amore online ma non ha tempo o talento per comunicare. Charley si diverte a flirtare con sconosciuti per le sue clienti, ma le cose si complicano quando viene ingaggiata da Shelley, una donna in carriera simile a lei. Quando Shelley le chiede di contattare William, un dottore affascinante, Charley si sente attratta da lui e inizia a esplorare le questioni irrisolte della sua vita. L'affinità con William cresce rapidamente, portandola a riflettere sui suoi sentimenti. Quando Shelley e William decidono di incontrarsi, Charley si presenta di nascosto per spiarli, ma scopre che William ha ingaggiato un ghost-writer, che si rivela essere Sam, il suo affascinante coinquilino. Dopo lo shock iniziale, Charley si trova di fronte a una scelta: il vero amore potrebbe essere più vicino di quanto pensasse?

Now that's what I call a history of the 1980s is a political and cultural History of Britain in the long 1980s in ten objects or moments. Neither a top down history, nor nostalgic celebration, it reframes the decade around local, national, and global politics of gender, race, age and sexuality. -- .

In the UK today, approximately 1.6 million people awoke to the same problem (that's if they'd managed to sleep) - how to survive another day alongside the torrid and turbulent emotions associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Although you'd struggle to find a room big enough to house them all at once, it's not a 'popular' mental health problem and has received little publicity. The fact that you've heard of it at all probably you have it or somebody close at hand does. In the immense isolating pain and confusion that BPD can bring with it, this book is here to remind you that you are not alone - there are at least 1,599,999 others who feel their own personal version of your suffering. This unique anthology brings you some of their voices. The included poetry and prose features not only pieces by people with BPD, but also the viewpoint of carers and treatment providers. This book won't teach you the facts and figures about BPD or the latest theories as to what causes or treats it, but it will provide the aspect of BPD that is almost always missed - how it feels.

That is until she ventures to New York where a wild and heady summer of love and loss changes her forever. No longer able to hide in the shadows, Sally must return home to London to fulfill a promise she cannot break - to share her voice. But just as she's about to embark on her new life, a beautiful man turns up on Sally's doorstep bearing a sheepish smile and a mysterious hand-written message. How did he find her? Why is he here? Does he hold the truth to what happened back in New York? And, with him back on the scene, will she still have the courage to step into the spotlight? 'A charming, gorgeous tale of an ordinary woman with an extraordinary talent. I flaming loved it.' Milly Johnson 'You'll be laughing one minute and crying the next.'

I have held you every night for ten years and I didn't even know your name. We have a child together. A dog, a house. Who are you? Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby: she'd do anything for them. But almost everything she's told them about herself is a lie. And she might just have got away with it, if it weren't for her husband's job. Leo is an obituary writer and Emma is a well-known marine biologist, so, when she suffers a serious illness, Leo copes by doing what he knows best - reading and writing about her life. But as he starts to unravel her past, he discovers the woman he loves doesn't really exist. Even her name is fictitious. When the very darkest moments of Emma's past life finally emerge, she must somehow prove to Leo that she really is the woman he always thought she was . . . But first, she must tell him about the love of her other life. The Love of My Life is the astounding new novel from Rosie Walsh, bestselling author of The Man Who Didn't Call.
