What to expect

The magical, heartbreaking and life-affirming new novel from Richard & Judy BESTSELLER Linda Green. Perfect for fans of Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library, Mike Gayle and Ruth Jones! 🤍✨

'A rare and emotional read with wonderful nuggets of humour.' Milly Johnson

'Wonderfully executed, unique, clever and hilarious... Linda Green is absolutely at the top of her game.' Mike Gayle

How would you live your life differently, if you had a second chance?

Emily, Carl and Jules have all ‘gone before their time’. After dying on the same day in Halifax, West Yorkshire, they each wake up in a room in a hotel on the outskirts of town. They’re instructed to meet in the basement headquarters of film production company ‘End Credits’, where no-nonsense producer Suzi tells them their lives have been secretly filmed and they must edit their own biopic before they are able to move on.

There are only three rules: they can’t prevent their own deaths or anyone else’s, they can't kill anyone but they can make a director's cut - one change which will alter everything that comes after.

With the chance to undo their regrets and explore life’s infinite possibilities, what will they choose?
