How we met

My friend Katy is a total lush. She could drink me under the table and then on top of it again. She can also bake great cakes, offer fabulous advice, and has impressive legs. She is also an amazing writer. Hilarious on the page - as well as off - she has written her 3rd novel.

It is also her best.

HOW WE MET is a story about friendship, love, loss and hope: Liv Jenkins had been meticulously planning her ultimate to-do list – from the outrageous to sensible – of everything she longed to do before her dreaded thirtieth birthday, but when tragedy struck and she dies...

Two years later, Liv’s five closest friends have come together on the anniversary of her death and have made a pact: they will complete Liv’s to-do list in tribute to her memory.
But along the way they unearth deeply buried secrets, silent guilt, unrequited love and years of lies,  rocking their friendships to the core....

But that is just the book blurb. What I know for a fact is this - Katy writes honestly - about real people - who fuck up, who lie, who deny, to try and get through it all... She has more empathy than a whole team of Samaritans on new years eve. If you want a book that you can not put down - that makes you laugh and hell - it will make you weep as well, then pur-chase this one folks! I have started to read it and regret the fact I have a job to go to and children to feed - when all I want to do is eat chocs and find out what happens to Frazer and Mia...

You can buy it here.

Go on - you deserve it.

Thanks for this CM. I've read Katy's other novels and have loved her columns/blog for years, so will skip off now to purchase this!
