Everyone is talking about this book…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘What an absolute page-turner!...keeps you guessing before pulling off THE PERFECT ending!’ Anita

‘Such a warm, lovely read with two characters you’re desperately rooting for’ - Cesca Major, author of Maybe Next Time

Becca and Charlie have known each other since university.
Becca and Charlie have also hated each other since university.

Until now. Until Ally’s bucket list. The death of their loved one should mean they can go their separate ways and not look back. But completing the list is something neither of them can walk away from.

And sometimes, those who bring out the worst in you, also bring out the very best…

Over the course of ten years, Becca and Charlie’s paths collide as they deal with grief, love and life after Ally.

Not since Emma and Dex in One Day and Will and Lou in Me Before You will you root for a couple as much.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘An absolute joy…Laugh out loud funny in places and desperately poignant in others but thankfully not in the least bit soppy’ - Sarah

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘Made my heart ache…there are twists & turns I didn’t expect’ - Stephanie

About the Author

Pernille has had many words printed in the Sunday Times, most proudly the word “boobs”. Seduced by the promise of freebies she took her first job in advertising, but left when Status Quo tickets was as good as it got. After a brief spell marketing Natural History films, she switched to working in Children's television which for a time meant living in actual Teletubbyland, sharing a photocopier with Laa-Laa. Now, she lives in actual Buckinghamshire, sharing a photocopier with her husband and their four spawn. While the kids are at school she scoffs cake and writes in order to maintain a shred of sanity.
