What to expect

Two sisters. One secret. A journey to learn who they really are…

The instant Irish number one bestseller!

‘I really, really loved it. I think it's her best book so far, written with maturity and great compassion. The characters are very relatable, Lou was my favourite … I enjoyed this book so much’ MARIAN KEYES

'A burst of Sicilian sunshine … Cathy writes from the heart with great warmth and sincerity' ERICA JAMES

Lou never puts herself first. She always looks out for other people. Even at her own birthday party, all she does is worry whether everybody else is having a good time.

Then a terrible secret upends the celebrations. And she decides to do the one thing that nobody ever expects: something for herself.

But she’s going to need her sister. Life has pulled Lou and Toni apart– yet now they set off on a journey, one that will whisk them from the windswept Irish coast to sun-baked Sicily.

Where will their journey end?
