(2014)(A book in the Jennings Sisters series)
An omnibus of novels by Sheila Norton
SOPHIE BEING SINGLE
Sophie is thirty-four, single - and loving it! She has her own flat, her own business, a good social life and a gorgeous boyfriend - Charlie - who feels exactly the same as she does: settling down isn't on the agenda for either of them. Her married and attached friends think she's weird; her family think she's selfish; and strangely, her hairdressing clients use her as an agony aunt! Hearing about their horrible husbands and bastard boyfriends convinces her she's definitely best off as she is - satisfyingly single. Or is she ...?
DEBRA BEING DIVORCED
Debra has the perfect life: a perfect marriage, a beautiful house and three perfect children. Or so it seems to the outside world - and so Debra's always convinced herself. To admit to less than perfection would be to deny everything she believes in, everything she's devoted her life to and worked so hard to achieve. Divorce? It's unthinkable - barely even in her vocabulary. So when everything comes crashing down, it hits her harder than most. Can she survive, when her life is changed beyond recognition, or will she fall apart? Maybe she'll give in to the temptation to go completely off the rails, cavorting with gorgeous younger men and shocking herself as well as everyone around her? Or maybe she'll discover that by losing everything, she can finally find herself - and find out what really matters.
MILLIE BEING MARRIED
Millie and Tom were only eighteen, and expecting a baby, when they got married. At the time, they featured in a TV documentary about teenage marriage - convinced they would beat the odds and prove to their families that their relationship would survive. Now, fifteen years later, their two daughters are stroppy teenagers, money is tight and although they're still together, life's not exactly a bed of roses. The TV company wants to produce a follow-up film about how their marriage has turned out. Which would be fine ... except that there are a couple of things Millie would prefer not to be revealed in the documentary. In fact she'd prefer they weren't even revealed to Tom.
Can Millie and Tom survive the intrusion of the film crew into their already stressful lives? Or will the cameras perhaps expose some secrets that would have been better kept hidden?
