A RETURN TO AN IDYLLIC CORNISH HOLIDAY HOME - WILL EVERYTHING HAVE CHANGED?

20 years ago, Miranda, then sixteen, holidayed in Cornwall and her life changed forever.

Now she's back again - with her mother Clare and the ashes of her stepfather Jack, whose wish it was to be scattered on the sea overlooked by their one-time holiday home.

The picturesque cove seems just the same as ever, but the people are different - more smart incomers, fewer locals, more luxury yachts in the harbour...

Will Miranda and Clare be able find some familiar faces, and what emotions will this trip down memory lane back bring to the surface?

—— Peterborough Telegraph

The Best Rom-Com That's Happened To Me This Year!

—— Ali McNamara

A Richard Curtis rom-com of a novel

—— Glamour

Sharp, honest and very, very funny. I absolutely loved it

—— Kirsty Greenwood

Laugh-out-loud funny, with a bit of nostalgia thrown in.

—— Heat

Funny, refreshingly unclichéd tale... will strike a chord with even the hardest of hearts.

—— ShortList

A great read . . . had me on tenterhooks right until the end

—— Irish Examiner

A classy will-they won't-they romance with a difference... Sheer escapism from start to finish

—— Bella

Both funny and touching... Hudson's debut was highly praised and this is a terrific follow-up

—— Woman & Home

There is a love story at the hear tof this one which thankfully isn't saccharine or sugar coated but real and bumpy and awkward and wonderful... her characters are real, funny and flawed... Kerry is rather a genius

—— Savidge Reads

Hudson is a star in the making

—— Good Housekeeping

It’s a brave book, easily consumed in a day, and I’m in awe of Hudson’s expert demolition of the conventions of the genre

—— Emma Rees , Times Higher Education

Thirst is shot through with a vein of optimism, and never lets go of its belief in the power of love, compassion and forgiveness

—— Alastair Mabbott , Herald

Unflinching yet tender-hearted study of two lowly characters teetering on the brink

—— Daragh Reddin , Irish Times

This one is a juicy read
