'An absorbing, propulsive novel' Irish Times

The affair is over - so what does she have to lose?

'I was drawn in from the first page ... tender, raw and moving' Sinead Moriarty

Juliet never planned to be the other woman. She was sure Rory would leave his annoyingly perfect wife for her.
Then he died. So what is she supposed to do next?

Erica's not sure who she is now that her husband Rory, keeper of her secrets, is dead. As she struggles to grieve a man it seems she never really knew, she forms an unlikely connection with someone from his past.

Rory's childhood friend Maeve appears to have it all. But she's eager for an escape - from the pressures of her career, her exasperating family and her ailing mother - and finds herself tempted by the attention of an attractive stranger.

As three women's lives collide, they must reconcile the realities of love, betrayal, and the limits of forgiveness. Because what does it truly mean to be 'good', anyway?
