'Draws you in and doesn't let go ... perfect for fans of Meg Mason' Edel Coffey

The affair is over - so what does she have to lose?


Juliet never planned to be the other woman, but Rory was the only man she'd ever loved. Then he went and died. At his funeral, Juliet hides shamefully at the back, while his wife and their son rightfully grieve up front. What does her life look like now, without him?

Erica was the perfect wife, but Rory knew things about her that no one else can ever know. And now she's left with a question she doesn't want the answer to: had she lost Rory long before he died?

Maeve, Rory's childhood friend, now a bestselling novelist, appears to have it all - except any time for herself. Between her exasperating husband, two teenage sons, and ailing mother, Maeve's success feels hollow. And when she uncovers a disturbing secret, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel.

As three women's lives collide, they must reconcile the realities of love, betrayal, and the limits of forgiveness - because what does it truly mean to be 'good', anyway?

'Tender, raw and moving ... I was drawn in from the first page' Sinead Moriarty
