About This Book

'I read it so fast, just could not put it down' Reader review, 5 stars

Six adults all leading different lives.

Stay-at-home mum, Harriet, spends her days in a constant worry her husband will leave her.

Evie thought she was bossing the work-life balance until she's given a week to save her job.

Pippa hasn't felt like herself lately and a dreaded doctor's appointment has her thinking the worst.

Widower Nick feels in over his head trying to raise a grieving seventeen-year-old daughter.

Martine is the ultimate professional, au pairing for two kids she adores (even if the parents drive her crazy!), but little do they know she divides her time with a secret lover.

Losing her son in a tragic accident has left Betty with wounds that refuse to heal.

But every morning, they share one thing in common: they all endure the same manic rush to drop the kids off at school. And after unexpectedly running into each other at the school gates, the following week becomes a collision course, connecting their lives in more ways than one...

A brilliantly engaging and relatable read for any parent who dreads the morning alarm to brace the school run, perfect for fans of Gill Sims, Kristen Bailey and Carmen Reid.
