**Can one womanâs marriage survive her best friendâs divorce? Veronica Henry meets Erica James in this gorgeous summer read.**
Octavia Shelton thought sheâd have a different life. One where she travelled the world with an exotic husband and free-spirited children in tow.
Instead sheâs married to safe, reliable Jonathan, and her life now consists of packed lunches, school runs and mountains of dirty washing. Sheâs not unhappy. Itâs just that she can barely recognise herself.
So as Octavia watches her best friendâs marriage break up, it gets her thinking. What if life could be different? What if she could escape and rediscover the person she used to be? Escape back to the island she visited years ago? And what if the man she used to love was there waiting for her?

Kerry was brought up in Peterborough. She now lives in Surrey with a very tolerant husband and two children. She studied at Bath University and speaks fluent Italian, Spanish and French. She also trained as a journalist at City University, then went on to write travel guidebooks for Thomas Cook.
After landing her dream job working on womenâs magazines, she discovered that she hated writing about real people in case their families got upset.
The Writersâ Program at the University of California helped her move from fact into fiction â the perfect forum for exploring human emotions without worrying about some poor mother weeping over her sonâs account of his childhood.
