What to expect
An emotional, uplifting book club pick from the Sunday Times bestseller Debbie Howells
Imagine for a moment, your husband leaves you. Then through a bizarre twist of events, you find yourself working with the girl he’s left you for – and even worse, she's pregnant...
All Louisa wants is the impossible. To find a straightforward man, who isn’t remotely messed up. Now there’s a thought... But does such a man even exist?
All she knows is that she doesn’t need any more complications in her life. She has enough to deal with, with one best friend with a very strange horoscope habit, and the other dealing with a screwed-up husband. Not to mention dealing with her own ex-husband and his pregnant new girlfriend, who seems to need Louisa to give them relationship counselling!
She resolves that maybe a life of helping other people find their happy-ever-afters is enough for her. But then handsome vet Marcus walks into her life. And everything changes…
Set in the Hampshire countryside against a background of horses, dogs and vets, this is a story about friendship, love, and finding the impossible, just when you least expect it! Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond and Jojo Moyes.
