It's the Little Things
Dan and Sally Oliver and their friend Chloe Hennessey are lucky to be alive. Three years on, after surviving one of the world's biggest natural disasters - the Boxing Day tsunami - their lives have changed dramatically. Dan and Sally are now parents. Dan is enjoying being a stay-at-home father taking care of their young son, and Sally is the bread winner and loves her job as a partner in a Manchester law firm. The arrangement has so far worked well, but when Dan starts to question whether Sally has got her priorities right, the cracks in their marriage begin to appear. Dan and Sally have everything Chloe wishes for in life - a happy marriage and a beautiful child. Dumped by her long term boyfriend just weeks after the tsunami, she's been on a mission ever since to find the perfect father for the child she craves. When she meets Seth Hawthorne, she thinks she may have hit the jackpot. But is Seth the man she thinks he is?

Reviews
The Times
Chloe Rhodes
“Despite the promising premise, her 13th novel lacks the gravitas of her last (the brilliant Tell It to the Skies) and has none of its complexity or emotional depth. Instead, there’s an unoriginal “will they, won’t they” romance between Chloe and a dashing man with a secret (he’s a trainee vicar – the scandal!), plus a mildly entertaining account of Sally’s office affair. This is an inoffensive but ultimately unsatisfying read.”
