What to expect

From the laugh-out-loud Sunday Times bestselling author of When Life Gives You Lemons and author of Kindle sensation The Woman Who Ran Away from Everything.

‘The voice of modern woman’ Marie Claire

After yet another disaster, Lorrie is calling time on online dating. She might be single in her forties, but she’s got a good job, wonderful children and she’s happy. This, Lorrie decides, is going to have to be enough.

That is, until she receives a very unexpected request from France. Antoine Rousseau, who had once turned a lonely French exchange trip into a summer of romance, wants to see her – after thirty years.

But Lorrie is a responsible woman. She can’t exactly run off to Nice with the man who broke her teenage heart . . . can she?
