Paris has always held a piece of Jess's heart, ever since she spent a magical summer there over twenty years ago. So when a writing job offers her the chance to return, she's delighted, especially as her subject is iconic artist Adelaide Fox. Now approaching eighty, Adelaide wants to tell her life story - and what a life it has been, full of scandal, success, betrayal and passion.

But Adelaide is keeping secrets from her, Jess is sure. And she soon realises she will have to confront her own past in the city. Can Jess find out the truth - even if it means changing both of their lives for ever? 

A seaside holiday at Shell Cottage in Devon has always been the perfect escape for the Tarrant family. This year everything seems to have changed. Harriet is looking forward to a break with her lovely husband Robert and teenage daughter Molly. Unknown to Harriet, Robert is hiding a secret - and so, for that matter, is Molly…

Maddie's getting it from all sides. Her new boss at the radio station humiliates her live on air about her figure, her mum keeps dropping not-so-subtle hints that Maddie should lose weight and her kids are embarrassed to be seen with her. Things have to change. Maddie joins the local weight-watching group and finds two unlikely allies.

It's New Year's Eve, and three women bond over dodgy cocktails and fortune cookies, vowing to make this year their best one yet. As the months unfold, Gemma, Saffron and Caitlin find themselves tested to their limits. Under pressure, they are each forced to rethink their lives, but dare they take a chance on something new?
