Book Synopsis

A scathingly brilliant new novel from TV scriptwriter J.D. Barrett, author of THE SECRET RECIPE FOR SECOND CHANCES, that explores sex, love and all the stuff in-between.

What happens when one of the country''s most popular identities goes from reading the news to being the news?


Olivia Law had always been the good girl. Great grades, perfect career, husband, house and hairdo. She''d learnt image was everything so she refused to look below the surface of her life. When not at work, her minutes were filled with causes, chairing boards and dining at fabulous restaurants with her equally fabulous husband, David. She kept up the Botox, blow-dries and worked hard. It wasn''t enough, but whenever doubt crept in she''d head to a pilates class or plan a renovation on her trophy house.

Then she turned 45.
Olivia wasn''t prepared for David to leave. The fact that they hadn''t had sex for two years should have triggered warning bells ...
