Tessa, Sandra and Harriet have been friends through first crushes, careers, marriage and the trials of motherhood. After twenty years of taking care of everyone else's every need, they've found themselves hitting the big 5-0 and suddenly asking themselves: 'What about me?' Sandra has a sordid secret, and Harriet is landed with her ailing mother-in-law. Tessa is looking for something to fill the gaping hole left by her youngest daughter's departure for uni, where it seems she's engaged in all sorts of unsavoury activities, if Tessa's late-night Facebook stalking is anything to go by. When Tessa impulsively responds to an online message from an old flame, she soon finds herself waiting at Heathrow Airport for The One That Got Away. But what will the plan from New York bring her? The man of her dreams - or a whole heap of trouble? And could this be the long-awaited moment for Tessa to seize her life, for herself, with both hands? This is sharp, irreverent and very funny women's fiction for grown-ups. If you love Dawn French, Sue Townsend and Veronica Henry, this book is for you!
