Book Synopsis

'A gentle reminder love never gives up on anyone. A funny, charming, warm-hearted story to restore your faith in humanity' - Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal

Ned is in IKEA with his wife, Tanya, when she breaks the news that their marriage is over.

For Gemma, it's when she opens the glove compartment of her husband’s car to find a pair of women’s sunglasses that aren’t hers.

When Ned and Gemma meet at a support group for single parents, they don't exactly hit it off. Ned thinks Gemma is rude and unsympathetic; Gemma thinks Ned is entitled and self-pitying.

But as they've both learned from bitter experience, life is full of surprises. And maybe they have more in common than they think . . .

Sue Teddern's The Pre-Loved Club is a hilarious and warm look at finding love the second time around, and how a bad first impression might lead to the best second chance . . .
