  An emotional, uplifting book club pick from the Sunday Times bestseller Debbie Howells 
  Imagine for a moment, your husband leaves you. Then through a bizarre twist of events, you find yourself working with the girl he’s left you for – and even worse, she's pregnant... 
  All Louisa wants is the impossible. To find a straightforward man, who isn’t remotely messed up. Now there’s a thought... But does such a man even exist? 
  All she knows is that she doesn’t need any more complications in her life. She has enough to deal with, with one best friend with a very strange horoscope habit, and the other dealing with a screwed-up husband. Not to mention dealing with her own ex-husband and his pregnant new girlfriend, who seems to need Louisa to give them relationship counselling! 
  She resolves that maybe a life of helping other people find their happy-ever-afters is enough for her. But then handsome vet Marcus walks into her life. And everything changes… 
  Set in the Hampshire countryside against a background of horses, dogs and vets, this is a story about friendship, love, and finding the impossible, just when you least expect it! Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond and Jojo Moyes.

  The survivors call it The Molting. It spread across the planet faster than anyone could anticipate, turning people into bloodthirsty creatures, abominations of nature. Now Molters swarm every landscape, hunting the few remaining humans to extinction. 
  Former Army grunt Jonah Browne helps his family survive the only way he knows how: hunting down what hunts them from a secluded cabin in the remote German Mountains. But when the sanctity of their home is threatened, he brings family and other survivors together for a desperate mission. 
  With the Molter horde closing in on them from all sides, members of the sparse convoy must reach the north or die trying. 
  The road won’t be easy. The survivors have limited fuel and supplies, and Germany is a hot zone. Only grit, gut-wrenching sacrifices, and unfaltering determination will keep them alive. 
  Luckily Jonah spent years stockpiling ammo. They’re going to need every single bullet.
