The One That Got Away

When Piper James unexpectedly gets a message from her insanely hot teenage crush Rob Kingsford, inviting her to their school reunion, her heart flips. She hasn’t seen Rob in eight years – and he’s always been the one that got away.

Older (but not wiser), fatter (but much happier), and still definitely crushing on Rob, Piper’s about to come face-to-face with the very best of old friends and the very worst of old frenemies. Add in enough G&Ts and a few too many Cosmos, and there are all the ingredients for a real night to remember...

Could it be second-time lucky for Piper and Rob, or will she have her heartbroken all over again?

A hilarious and uplifting story about facing your fears and being true to who you are – perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Sophie Kinsella and Sophie Ranald.

‘Oh my gosh it was brilliant! I laughed, I got choked up, my emotions were all over the place and by the end, I was uplifted into believing I could do anything... I loved everything about this book.’ Katie’s Book Cave, 5 stars

‘I adored the story from start to finish! Rob was completely and utterly gorgeous and I literally swooned every time he appeared on the page... Had me laughing one minute and then crying the next!... Had me hooked... A fantastic and uplifting read which I would heartily recommend!’ Stardust Book Reviews, 5 stars

‘I am now completely head over heels in love with this book and the characters. I think Piper may be my new favourite character ever (sorry Hermione Granger)... Funny, heart-warming, emotional all at once... Just perfect!’ Vicki in Neverland, 5 stars.
