About the book

Dive into the Joyful Chaos of the Kennedy Household with the No.1 Sunday Times Bestseller from Jojo Moyes

'The best book she has ever written' Marian Keyes

'Wise, funny and glorious. She never ever disappoints' Lisa Jewell'

'Her latest novel proves that there is no time like the present to rewrite one's own story' Jodi Picoult

***

Welcome to the Kennedy household:

Lila wrote a bestseller about keeping your marriage alive, before discovering her ex was playing happy families with another woman. A woman she sees everyday at school pick-up.

Bill, her stepdad, moved in after Lila's mum died. He's kind, old-fashioned and driving her absolutely nuts.

Celie, Lila's eldest, hates school. Hates it so much she's stopped going. Her mother's fine with that - because she doesn't know yet.

Violet is nine and sings age-inappropriate rap songs, laughs at fart jokes and Lila dearly hopes she'll never, ever change.

And Truant the dog, who has just bitten the American actor who's suddenly landed on the Kennedys' doorstep.

This is Gene - Lila's estranged father, and no one's idea of a role model. He walked out on Lila and her mum years ago - and wherever he goes domestic discord follows.

Because Gene's presence changes things in unexpected ways. Soon the girls discover a kindred spirit in a man always chasing life's joy. Bill even loosens up. And Lila finds herself, astonishingly, dating.

Something is happening to the Kennedy household - but what is it?
And will it break, or save, their family?

    Mein erstes Highlight 2026! Jojo Moyes ist eine meiner liebsten Autorinnen. Und nach diesem Buch weiß ich auch wieder einmal warum! Ihr Schreibstil ist einfach perfekt für mich. Ihre Charaktere so lebendig und nah. Dieser Roman ist eine Geschichte über Familie, Liebe, Neuanfänge, verbindet Vergangenheit und Gegenwart und begleitet auf humorvolle und trotzdem tiefgründige Art 3 Generationen. Ich habe wirklich jede Seite geliebt. Von mir eine ganz große Leseempfehlung.

    Irgendwie null Spannung. Alles darin sehr vorhersehbar! Trotzdem liebe ich die Bücher von Jojo Moyes, da sie angenehm zu lesen sind.

    Unterhaltsame Alltagsgeschichte

    In dem Buch erfahren wir, wie die Protagonistin Leila mit ihrem Leben, samt aller Stolpersteine, klarkommt. Mit ein wenig Witz und ganz vielen realen Problemen des alltäglichen Lebens, erzählt die Hauptdarstellerin wie es ihr als, frisch geschiedene, Autorin, Mutter und Tochter von 2 alternden Vätern ergeht.
