Lucy Dickinson has a lovely husband, two sons and a busy job as a part-time GP in a small seaside town. Like every woman, she does have a few problems, but they're nothing she can't handle - or ignore.

Until she meets the fun-loving Grace.

Grace is outrageous, attractive and surprisingly vulnerable. Her son is a new best friend for Lucy's Tom. Their husbands get on. But will the close and powerful relationship Lucy and Grace strike up ultimately tear Lucy's life apart?

The discoveries that Lucy and Grace make about themselves, about intimacy, passion, friendship and the way eyeliner can change your life reverberate through both their marriages.

Compellingly written, this is the perfect read for every woman, especially if she's reached that dangerous age …
