The narrative centers on infidelity, love, the messy aftermath of poor decisions, and the ways characters cope with longing, disappointment, and reconciliation. Backed by a public-facing author background and publisher details, the material frames the novel as a fast, engaging read that blends tears, laughter, break-ups, and make-ups while offering optimistic, well-observed characterisation.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPENGUIN BOOKS  \nLARGER THAN LIFE  \n‘Compelling and full of that’s-so-true moments’ Company  \n‘Still Thinking of You is guaranteed to keep chick-lit and romance readers  \nengrossed’Big Issue  \n‘Dark, funny and upfront’ Cosmopolitan  \n‘Another gorgeously girly read from Parks’Heat  \n‘This savvy romance crams in tears, laughter, break-ups and make-ups – the  \nperfect confection’Mail on Sunday  \n‘Set against an intoxicatingly romantic background, this is another beautifully-constructed multi-layered story with fine characterisation’ Daily  \nRecord  \n‘Excellent, well-honed and acutely observed’Daily Mail‘It’s witty, it’s warm, it’s fun.
