But Ben’s mother will stop at nothing to track him down and get her revenge: backing him into a corner where he is forced to sacrifice himself to save Hoshiko.

The Adults by Caroline Hulse Published by Orion Books on August 23, 2018 Genres: Fiction Pages: 416 Format: Arc, E-Arc Source: Netgalley, Publisher Buy on Amazon Goodreads MEET THE ADULTS. Claire and Matt are divorced but decide what’s best for their daughter Scarlett is to have a ‘normal’ family Christmas. They can’t agree on whose idea it was, or who said they should bring their new partners. But someone did – and it’s too late to pull the plug. Claire brings her new boyfriend Patrick, a seemingly eligible Iron-Man-in-Waiting. Matt brings the new love of his life Alex, funny, smart, and extremely patient.

They said they’d all be adults about this… * […]

As always don’t forget to check out the other blogs on this tour for other amazing content! Fiona Gibson: Working at Home without going Mad It’s been 21 years since I had a workplace to go to. I can hardly believe it’s been so long. I can always go back to an office, I kept thinking at first, if it all gets too much. In fact, I fully expected to. From my late teens through to my early thirties I’d worked in magazine offices in Dundee and London, and many of those former workmates are still my best friends. I loved office life.

Today Sophie is going to be talking about what she really thinks about writing groups and I am super excited to read her thoughts. As always don’t forget to check out the other blogs on this tour for other amazing content! Sophie Jenkins : What I really Think about Writing Groups…. In The Forgotten Guide to Happiness, Lana Green, the main character, becomes a tutor at a writing group, and it’s a situation that appeals to me because I know plenty about them. Writing groups are brilliant and wherever I’ve lived, I’ve made sure I belong to one. But I’ve never taught a writing group. It’s my biggest nightmare and it was very easy to imagine what I’d be like if I had. The complete lack of authority, the wild optimism, the arguments… and when it all seems to be getting out of hand, looking hopefully up at the clock only to see that time has stopped. Being a published writer […]
