What’s the grown-up meaning of ‘happily ever after’?
When she first meets Adam, Coralie is new to London and feeling adrift. But Adam is clever, witty, and (he insists) a quarter of an inch taller than the average British male. His charming four-year-old daughter, Zora, only adds to his appeal.
But ten years on, something important is missing from the life Coralie and Adam have built. Or maybe, having gained everything she dreamed of, Coralie has lost something she once had: herself.
Set against an eventful decade that included the soap opera of five Prime Ministers plus Brexit and Covid, Consider Yourself Kissed puts the subjects of love and family on a grand stage, showing how the intimate dramas in our homes inescapably compete for energy and attention with the shared public dramas of our times.
Consider Yourself Kissed is an unforgettable literary love story which effortlessly balances sweetness with bite, the public with the personal, and humour with heart.

Featured Reviews
I love a long beautiful love story especially one that spreads across a long span of time. You really get to know the characters. I highly enjoyed this one!
I thought this book was fascinating and I read the entire book in a day (train delays!), it’s incredibly hard to really describe what it’s about other than to say it’s about Coralie and her life. She could be any of us, the detail was fascinating, the ebb and flow of her relationships- with her brother, her dad, Adam, Zora. It was all throughly engrossing and very authentic. To have all been so recent and so within my memory was also Intriguing. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend
