'I am a big fan of this writer' Katie Fforde

After years of being unlucky in love, Julia has found the one - or in her case, the one that was there all along, her best friend Toby.

Except that after a perfect weekend making plans for the future, Toby's ex-girlfriend Ruby gets in touch, telling him she's pregnant. Although he feels torn, Toby decides to give their relationship another chance, for the baby's sake.

Julia is determined to pick herself up and move on from Toby. But life is about to get much more complicated for the three of them. . .
