And Hayley is in for a few more romantic surprises . . .Over a single weekend, Hayley lives her life time and time again, and as each of her former loves resurface, Hayley starts to realise that there’s some truth in the saying ‘be careful what you wish for.’ Yes, the past two years with her husband Rick have been tough, but is the grass always greener? Time After Time is a fresh, funny novel, which explores the romantic paths that could have been and the ones who (almost) got away. . . What readers are saying about Time After Time: ‘An upbeat, feel good read that looks at what can happen when you say What If?’‘The book is billed as Ground Hog Day meets Sliding Doors.

Very enjoyable read. I've already recommended it to friends.’
