For many years, beginning when she was thirteen, Nicole Blake spent every new year with her three friends: Julian, her first love, Alex, her best friend, and Aidan, her obsession. Together the four had partied hard, suppported each other, and fallen in love. But then tragedy and betrayal tore the friends apart, and Nicole settled down to married life with Dom in London. But in the week running up to New Year's Eve 2011, Nicole and Dom are preparing for a trip to New York to meet up with Aidan and Alex for the first time in years. But with so much left unsaid and unresolved between them all, can they really return to their old friendship? And if they do, Nicole isn't sure she'll ever want to come home again.

Ein Jahr geht zu Ende. Ein neues Leben beginnt. Seit sie dreizehn war, feierte Nicole Silvester mit ihrem besten Freund Julian. Jahr für Jahr erzählten sie sich ihre Vorsätze und geheimen Wünsche, sie waren der Mittelpunkt jeder Party und immer füreinander da. Bis zu jener schicksalhaften Neujahrsnacht ...

Nicole beschließt: Im neuen Jahr wird sie ihr Leben endlich wieder in die Hand nehmen. Doch wie soll sie das schaffen, wo Julian nicht mehr da ist, um ihr beizustehen? «Ein berührender Roman über Wendepunkte im Leben und darüber, wie wichtig es ist, Verantwortung für das eigene Glück zu übernehmen.» (Daily Mail)

Recessionista slaat terug

Freunde. Für immer? In der Uni waren sie unzertrennlich, doch das ist lange her. Viele Jahre später erreicht Andrew, Lilah, Natalie und Dan eine überraschende Einladung. Jen, die Fünfte im Bund, lädt sie in ihr Haus nach Südfrankreich ein. Das Haus, in dem sie alle einen goldenen Sommer verbrachten – bevor die Tragödie sie auseinanderriss. Der Schnee fällt immer dichter. Abgeschnitten von der Außenwelt müssen die fünf sich lange vergrabenen Gefühlen stellen: Schuld, Trauer, unerwiderte Liebe, zerbrochene Freundschaft. Nur nach und nach kommt ans Licht, was damals wirklich geschah.

Was bleibt, wenn du gehst

They thought they'd be friends forever, until a tragic accident drove them apart. Now, seventeen years later, five friends meet again, and are forced to face up to the secrets of the past Jen, Andrew, Lilah, Natalie and Dan were inseparable at university, but in the seventeen years since they left they have hardly seen each other. Until Jen invites them all to stay at her house in the French Alps. The house where they once spent a golden summer before tragedy tore them apart. When a snowstorm descends, they find themselves trapped and forced to confront their unresolved issues, frustrated passions and broken friendships. And as relationships shift and marriages flounder, the truth about what really happened years before is slowly revealed. And Jen realises that perhaps some wounds can never be healed...

The Reunion

Cassie Cavanagh has never minded being 'just a PA'. In fact she's quite content with her lot. She has a city job she kind of enjoys - after all she is indispensable, you know. She has a boyfriend who showers her with gifts - what more could a girl want? And she earns enough to (just about ) finance the luxuries she's become used to. But Cassie hadn't banked on being made redundant. Nor had she pictured her boyfriend leaving her for an older woman! Nor had she ever imagined needing to take financial advice from her student flatmate. Reluctant to embrace the art of being thrifty, if Cassie's going to survive the recession in style, she's a lot to learn about budgeting. And even more to learn about herself...
