About This Book

The people you meet in a moment can change your life forever. LOVE ACTUALLY meets THE SLAP.
At the scene of an accident, three ordinary people are thrown together in a heartfelt romp through the dramas of suburban life.

Grace, hardworking and tired, wants another baby. But she's weighed down by debt, a manic 4-year-old and a jobless husband determined to make his inventions into reality. Can they both get their way, or will competing dreams tear their marriage apart?

Eddy analyses risk for a living, but his insecurities have brought his own life to a halt. He won't let go of the flighty, unfaithful Romy, but will he ever risk believing in himself?

Melody is trying to raise her son Skip in the city while holding true to her hippie lifestyle. But will past mistakes and social pressure force her to leave her beliefs behind?
