Fiction

Blending families can be tricky - is everybody happy with the new arrangement? Things are finally looking up for Anna. Fourteen miserable years of marriage to man-child Connor have left her drained. So when they separate, she couldn't be more thrilled to move in with James, a handsome lecturer who is everything her ex-husband is not- kind, thoughtful, and above all, reliable. But Anna and James' kids hate living with the loved-up couple. Their teenage daughters - one a studious high achiever and the other a cool rich girl - have nothing in common. And Anna's wild football-mad eleven-year-old son declares war on bookish James. Nobody said step-parenting was easy; Anna and James are about to find out exactly how complicated it can be. Do they have what it takes to make their blended family work?
