Alice Waites has been single for almost two years. So when her close friends in The Short Book Group question her lack of interest in dating, she decides the time has come to open up to new possibilities. Along the way, she discovers the secret heartache, well-meant scheming and calculating deceit of those around her. But the most devastating truth revealed is the one which she has kept hidden from herself: her feelings for a man so close, that he seems completely out of reach.
Jo Platt was born in Liverpool and, via the extremely winding route of rural Wiltshire, London, Seattle and St Albans, now finds herself nicely settled, with a husband and two children, in Bristol.
