I couldn't put it down!' Sarah Morgan The uplifting story of fresh starts and second chances from the Sunday Times bestselling author Erica James After a long and seemingly happy marriage, Louisa is stunned when her husband Kip suddenly asks for a divorce. He'd never seemed unhappy - and they've raised three children together. For months, Kip has been secretly seeing a younger woman - and if that wasn't bad enough, it's the woman who broke their youngest son's heart. Now Kip is moving out and embarking on a new life with Zoe, and Louisa is left to pick up the pieces. Their beloved family home, Charity Cottage, is up for sale, and tensions are running high. Yet, despite the betrayal and anger, when Louisa lays eyes on what might be a unique and welcoming new home, she feels a first glimmer of hope that life might be taking a turn for the better. And while Louisa is making exciting plans, Kip finds himself facing challenges of his own and begins to learn that living the dream may not be as simple as he thought. ***** `Wonderful on characterisation and family dynamics, and done very deftly, with that wry humour of hers. I was very entertained by her clever, tongue-in-cheek plotting' Marian Keyes Readers give An Ideal Husband five stars! : 'Pure reading joy' 'Another brilliant novel by Erica James. One of those books that I was really sad to finish.' 'I love Erica James and her new book does not disappoint. She brings a real warmth to her characters and also a poignancy to her story telling. Highly recommend.' 'Erica James does it again. I loved this book and could not put it down.' 'This novel is truly beautiful. Thought provoking, yet at the same time a most uplifting and positive read.'
