What to expect

The brand new feel-good, funny and fabulous book from the No.1 bestseller!

Starting again never felt so good!

The worst day of her life could be the best thing that’s ever happened.

Kim Jacobs believes that she is happily married, until her husband tells her he is leaving her. Forced to re-evaluate her life on the same day that her son leaves for university, Kim is shocked to find herself sleeping in the spare room of his college flatshare.

She never imagined her prime would be spent with a bunch of man-babies, but amongst the empty pizza boxes and unwashed laundry, Kim can feel something starting to happen.

Can her unlikely new housemates help her realise that maybe the best is yet to come?
