{"product_id":"9781785303357","title":"The Unexpected Love Story of Lexie Byrne (aged 39 1\/2)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLexie Byrne is perfectly content approaching forty, as a singleton. After all, she can watch Dirty Dancing on repeat while eating cheese and onion crisp sandwiches in bed. She's had a ring on it, then a ring off it, and unless it's Johnny Castle who merengues into her life, she is never settling again. Her ex-fiance Dan, cheated yes, she was flattened yes, but she picked herself up and in hindsight, had a lucky escape. Lexie's best friend is Annemarie, who, at forty-two, has settled for Tom, desperate for a baby. But when Lexie meets Adam and she feels a chemistry that almost makes her head explode, Annemarie strongly disapproves. Annemarie says everything is moving way too fast and insists on flying with Lexie when she goes to visit Adam, despite the fact that she thinks she might finally be pregnant. When they arrive at Adam's, Lexie soon discovers that he has a very complicated past, and an even more complicated present. But through all the drama, Lexie realises that with him, she is having the time of her life. Until the tension that's been brewing between Lexie and Annemarie finally erupts and, as her unexpected love story unfolds, it is only trumped by a very unexpected arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaroline Grace-Cassidy's writing shines with sparkling wit and warmth.'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e-\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eCathy Kelly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMature women, good food, reasonable amounts of wine and a love story in a quaint Cornwall setting by the sea\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e- The Imortance of Being Me\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eis exactly my kind of book.'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e-\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eKatrin Andres, acquiring editor at Piper Verlag, Germany\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe women are real - flawed and funny, and the story is a balm for the soul . . . making\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Week I Ruined My Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003ethe perfect, uplifting summer read.'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e-\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eClaire Allan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Week I Ruined My Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eis definitely one of those stories to lose yourself in over an afternoon in the garden, or tucked away in the window seat of a country house, preferably with cake and tea . . .'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e- Jaffa Reads Too\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black and White Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55098025836887,"sku":"9781785303357","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/4569\/5575\/files\/17648403482823.jpg?v=1790025624","url":"https:\/\/somiibooks.com\/products\/9781785303357","provider":"Somiibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
