‘One for Dolly Alderton fans’ The TimesGirl meets boy. Girl meets another boy. And another boy. And another. But this is not their story, it’s Margot’s. ****Boyfriend. House. Marriage. Kids. This is how Margot pictured her life would play out. But seventeen years after her first kiss, she still keeps falling at the first hurdle.

So she’s about to take a different kind of leap. As Margot prepares to make the biggest decision of her life, she can’t help looking back on the relationships that shaped her. From situationships that sizzled to others that fizzled, from youthful infatuations to grown-up dilemmas, to the one she thought might be her happily ever after. What would you do if the life you’d always imagined for yourself didn’t materialize? Would you keep to the script, or would you write a new one?‘With glorious attention to detail and emotional fluency, Dunn charts the ways in which we are built and broken by love’ Pandora Sykes‘An achingly relatable novel about the dreams we have for our lives, and what happens when we open ourselves up to letting them go’ Harper’s Bazaar
