What to expect
The BRAND NEW hilarious, feel-good read from NUMBER ONE bestselling author Fiona Gibson, perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Sophie Kinsella and Jill Mansell 😍✨
🎸 Is it ever too late for an encore? 🎸
When they were young, Josie and Shane thought both they and their band were headed for greatness.
But fast forward three decades, and Josie’s life looks more like this:
A dead-end job in a niche London bookshop
A boyfriend who thinks the answer to their financial problems is Josie sharing photos of her feet on OnlyFans
A grown daughter who’d rather Josie stayed out of her new family's business
Then Ravi – their band's fearless frontwoman and Josie’s oldest friend – dies, leaving one last request: for Josie and Shane to finish the 'tour' they abandoned all those years ago.
Which is how Josie ends up rattling up the motorway in a retired ambulance with one mattress, one map, and the man who once broke her heart.
Will this be yet another mistake for Josie? Or could it be her chance to make her life what she'd always dreamed it would be?
