What to expect

Philippa Taylor (Pepper to her friends) has big dreams. When she closes her eyes, she can picture exactly who she ought to be. The problem is, it's about as far away from her real life in a small coastal town in Suffolk as she can imagine.

So when her elderly friend Josephine persuades Pepper to accompany her on a trip to Europe, she jumps at the chance to change her routine. And when Pepper bumps (literally) into the handsome Finn in Lisbon, it seems as though she might have finally found what she's been looking for.

But Pepper know all too well things are rarely as they seem. Her own quiet life hides a dark secret from the past. And even though she and Finn may have been destined to find each other, Pepper suspects life may have other plans as to how the story should end.

A romantic and sweeping story about friendship, love and realising that sometimes it's about the journey, not the destination.

If you're looking for a book to completely transport you to a sunny, carefree location, this is it. Uplifting and romantic, Hello Again is simply gorgeous
Catherine Isaac
Isabelle Broom has done it again . . . Hello, Again is genuinely her best novel yet. It's beautiful, warm, heart-wrenching, and I cried happy and sad tears several times . . . every page sweeps you away somewhere magical. I can't recommend Hello, Again highly enough - but get two copies, because one is going to get worn out from re-reads very quickly
Lucy Vine
The characters are fresh and real, and Isabelle Broom's writing paints the most beautiful picture. Heartfelt, evocative and life-affirming; a book I'd say Hello, Again to time after time . . . beautifully written, heartfelt, escapist fiction

A wonderful tale of hope, redemption and new beginnings, you will root for Pepper from the off.
