What to expect
When Florence met Rowena, they knew for sure that they would always be friends.
Wayward parents, boring teachers, teenage crushes, first heartbreaks – anything and everything could be faced as long as Florence had Rowena by her side.
But then she didn’t.
And life had to be redrawn and reconsidered.
Being a grown-up has its perks, but as Rowena faces the biggest challenge of her life, and Florence wonders if it’s time to stop running away from hers, there’s a wise soul who knows the one thing that can help them both. Some friendships are meant to last forever, and it’s never too late for forever to start again.
Joyous and heart-breaking, laugh-out-loud funny, life-affirming and unforgettable, join Flo and Ro on a journey that will warm your heart and perhaps make you wonder about those old friends who knew you so well.
Janet Hoggarth is the bestselling author of The Single Mums series. Perfect for fans of Marian Keyes, Mike Gayle and Jenny Éclair.
Praise for Janet Hoggarth:
‘Such brilliant characters, such amazing insights and some great one liners that I hope I will remember. I thoroughly enjoyed this - must go to sleep now as it is nearly morning but I couldn’t put it down! Enjoy’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
‘I don't usually take the time to write a review but felt compelled to do so for this book. A story of 4 generations of women and their stories and how information withheld from each creates unforseen repercussions that spin out over many years. I felt like I was reading someone's personal journey of discovery and not just a character in a book. Quality realistic conversations throughout. Lovely story!’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
‘What a great read. Read it over two days because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It just hit home with all the “family secrets” that seem so important at the time and so meaningless generations later. It really hit home as I work through my own genealogy. Good read and I will definitely watch for more by this author’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
‘A heart-rending, heart-warming, heart-stopping and hilarious tale of a mother's love and a wounded soul rediscovering her awesome potential for life and (we are left hoping) for lasting love’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
‘Sometimes heart-breaking, frequently laugh-out-loud funny and always searingly honest. The story is a rollercoaster and one that I was hooked on until the very end. More from Janet Hoggarth please!’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
‘Best book I've read for a long time! An honest and empowering read’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
‘A real page turner! This book is written in a heartfelt and endearing way... the author manages to create a realistic story full of joy, heartbreak, tears and laughter’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
