The BRAND NEW book club pick from bestseller Carmen Reid 'Escapist Summer reading at its best' Jill Mansell

Divorced, Re-wedded. Survived....

Lucie Marshal is absolutely furious! How did she go from being a successful wife and mother to divorced, teetering on bankruptcy, and barely speaking to her grown-up daughter? Even worse, she's just heard that her moronic ex-husband Miles is marrying a much younger woman in an influencer-style wedding in France #blessed #theone

Lucie will absolutely NOT be going. To hell with Miles, his new teeth, new hair and new wife! She's perfectly fine...In fact, Lucie feels lost and angry almost all of the time. Just what happened to her younger, freer wild child self, who used to live life to the full?

But then pregnant daughter Zoe needs a lift... and eccentric nephew Deva needs a lift too and now Lucie has somehow agreed to drive her Dad's beloved old Jag all the way across France to take them to her ex-husband's wedding.

With a pitstop in Paris, a breakdown, unexpected passengers, and miles of open road, all set to Deva's showtunes soundtrack - could this be the journey Lucie needs to find a way back to herself?
