The Blurb

It's a truth universally acknowledged that a woman in possession of a loudly ticking biological clock must be in search of a husband."

Sally's 32, single and panicking, and all of her friends seem to be living in wedded bliss. Her happily married friend Gaby suggests that Sally join a dating agency to find a man. Originally Sally resists the advice, but eventually comes around to the idea.

And she's so glad she did! Because through the internet dating agency www.morethanfriends.ie, she meets the gorgeous, successful and charming Chris Malley. It's a whirlwind romance - a very short time later she's ecstatically living with him and everything's wonderful. It gets even better because he's happy to support her so she can give up her job to follow her dream of writing a novel. And he wants to start trying for a baby straight away. It's all perfect!

At least, it would be perfect if Sally wasn't beginning to have forgetful incidents. Terrified that she's losing her mind she tries to appear normal by hiding the worst of her lapses from Chris. Is their idyllic relationship doomed?

Sometimes love just isn't enough.

The Reviews:

This is Tracy Culleton's third novel, and as with her first two Looking Good and Loving Lucy she has produced a gripping tale which will have the reader holding thier breath as they follow Sally's journey.

  • A romantic story that progresses into a thriller. Very well written, it kept my attention at all times. I would nto change a thing about this book; it is truly unique. It's refreshing to read a novel with such a twist. I loved it from the moment I picked it up 10/10
  • I just could not put [this book] down. It was extremely well written and the characters are so easy to relate to. I would highly recommend this book and give it top marks. 10/10
  • A refreshing change from the mundane books that are gracing bookshops right now. It had enough plot changes and twists to make me want to recommend this novel before I had even finished it. Tracy is improving as a writer with each book and is easily becoming one of Ireland’s best authors. 10/10

Hi Tracy,
Finished your book last night - it's a fascinating story compellingly told. Brilliantly well done, you. You tackled a great issue and did it justice. My skin was crawling at times, it really got to me. It deserves to do hugely well and I hope it does. Books like yours make such a change from the fairly vacuous romances we still seem to see on the bookshelves. You feel you've read a real story, if you know what I mean. A reader by e-mail.
