About the Book

A contemporary love story told with Katy's inimitable laugh-out-loud humour, poignancy and heart. TO DO LIST Make something with Quinoa Pluck eyebrows Do something 'cultural' every week Dump married boyfriend Caroline's life was meant to be sorted when she made the decision to end her engagement, 3 months before the big day. With her to-do list tasks getting crossed off and her career going great guns, Caroline is sure she's now a fully functioning adult. So when her 17 year old half-sister Lexi, arrives unexpectedly at her door, it doesn't quite fit with her image that she's drunk and wearing her wedding dress! Lexi has come to stay for the summer but their relationship is strained, as Lexi is the result of their father's infidelity. An affair that led to the divorce that destroyed Caroline's mother and ruined her own childhood. Needless to say, Caroline is in no hurry to confess her relationship with her married lover Toby. As the summer wears on, Caroline has decisions to make, and a life to reconsider, but surely a 17 year old can't teach her anything about how to live well?

About the Author :
Katy Regan worked at 19 magazine for two years before joining Marie Claire in 2002. 'Highlights' in that position included spending ten days in the buff on a nudist resort and becoming a footballer's wife for a week -- all in the name of investigative journalism. In 2004 at the height of her career as the office roving reporter singleton, she fell accidentally pregnant by her best mate (who just remained a friend). Seeing the creative possibilities in this unconventional situation, her editor commissioned her to write a column - And then there were three! which proved so successful it ran for two years and inspired many a reader to write in to Katy with their life story. She has now taken her loyal following to her blog:The State She's In on the Marie Claire website. Her first novel One Thing Led to Another is out now. She lives in Little Berkhamsted and shares care of her son Fergus with his dad.

Review :

Totally fab' Eithne Farry, Marie Claire / 'An entertaining, engaging and effortless read full of warmth and humour' Rowan Coleman /'Funny and thought-provoking, a great read' Julia Llewellyn
