Preorder Mhairi's new novel COVER STORY – coming soon!

A SUNDAY TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2023

‘Everything you want from a rom com and satisfyingly knotty with proper, recognisable characters. She just gets better and better’ — JOJO MOYES

‘I LOVE her books PASSIONATELY and this is her best yet’ — MARIAN KEYES

‘She’s so ridiculously talented . . . consider this recommendation my personal gift to you and your life’ — EMILY HENRY

When Joe and Roisin join their group of friends for a weekend away, it’s a triple celebration – a birthday, an engagement, and the launch of Joe’s new crime drama on TV.

But when Roisin sees secrets she shared with Joe play out on the TV screen, she knows that between us means nothing at all.

Roisin finds herself searching for clues to the truth – about her life, their history, and the man she thought she loved. And it’s then that Roisin finds the most unexpected plot twist of them all. Among those same old friends, there’s a surprising potential for new beginnings . . .
