About this deal

She lives in the sleepy village of Halfhidden with her aunt with her aunt Debo, who runs the local kennels, a home from home for waifs and. Cleverly set around various parties, THE LIFE AND THE SOUL OF THE PARTY revolves around three couples: Chris and Vicky, the seemingly perfect couple whose shiny veneer hides Chris’s affair with a younger woman; Cooper and Laura, whose relationship could be on the brink of a crisis as they head in opposite directions; and Melissa and Paul, who were last together five years ago but could still be so right for one another. Appalled by this lack of maturity, Mike draws up a to-do list containing every item he's been meaning to do but keeps putting off. It’s both heartwarming and bittersweet and a great reminder that if they’re there, we should grab second chances with both hands.

Life isn’t a simple linear path and Helen, Ben and Adam epitomise modern relationships, family ties and difficulties, and the pressures of simply living, in a sensitive and heartfelt story that gets under the reader’s skin and affects them profoundly.I really thought I knew where that was going and how it would end and yet, I still ended up heartbroken. that is of course if they can just manage to get through their respective stag and hen weekends (his: Amsterdam; hers: a country house and day spa in the Peak District) without falling apart. It's a heartwarming exploration of the idea that sometimes what's missing in our lives is a person we've loved deeply in the past. She feels as if she looks shocking, her clothes are a mess and her morale isn’t exactly sky high, and there he is, Ben, her first love, standing on her Manchester doorstep after 20 years apart. Ben is a famous rockstar making music with his band Bluelight but he’s far from happy and he finds himself on Helen’s doorstep.

But it's because of the end that I almost knocked this down to a 3 star review, and probably it's a 3 1/2. After all, her teenaged son and daughter are on a week’s vacation with their father (and his new girlfriend), so his presence in Manchester can be kept secret.All he wants to do is wallow in misery, but mates Andy and Tom have a better idea: a week of sun, sea and souvlaki in Malia — party capital of the Greek islands. Despite the example of their own parents' enduring marriage, the three Bachelor brothers show no signs of settling down. It serves as a reminder that love, in its purest form, can transcend the years and bring unexpected joy. Such an emotive book where the author brings the characters to life in such a way, the reader really is invested.
