Things are finally looking up for Anna. Seventeen miserable years of marriage to man-child Connor have left her drained and ready for a new start. So when they separate, she couldn't be more thrilled to move in with James, a handsome lecturer who is everything her ex-husband is not: kind, thoughtful, and above all, reliable.

But Anna and James's kids hate living with the loved-up couple and the new set-up. Their teenage daughters - one a studious high achiever and the other a cool rich girl unbothered by grades or exams - have nothing in common. And Anna's wild football-mad nine-year-old son declares war on bookish James.

Nobody said step-parenting was easy; Anna and James are about to find out exactly how complicated it can be. With exes, new partners-of-exes and money all in the mix, home life is fast becoming a minefield and their new-found happiness hangs in the balance. Do they have what it takes to make their blended family work? 0aDivorced peoplevFiction924310 0aMan-woman relationships vFiction911134 0aStepfamilies vFiction924311 0aInterpersonal conflictvFiction924312  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2024-11-06l0oP-EN MORpB05343r2024-11-06t1w2024-11-06y1  c4401d4401
