Description
Lose yourself in the south of France this summer in this fabulously feel-good beach read!
Carrie Hayes has a job she enjoys and a perfectly nice boyfriend. She's sorted. Isn't she?
But Carrie's life wasn't always like this. As a young, wild drama student, she married fellow actor, Richard Maddox, after a whirlwind romance. Life back then was full of possibilities, but when Hollywood beckoned Richard, Carrie was left behind.
Now an A-list superstar, Richard's life couldn't be more different to Carrie's, so when their paths cross in glamorous St Tropez, she can't help but wonder what might have been.
But with lovely, sensible Alan in tow, Carrie knows she needs to do the right thing. The only problem is, Carrie and Richard never quite got round to getting a divorce...
Lose yourself this summer on the French Riviera, the perfect read for fans of Lucy Diamond and Jane Costello.

Praise for Jules's fabulous debut 'Talk to Me', published by Choc Lit:
'A heart-warming debut.' - The Bookseller
'Jules Wake's "Talk to me" is the next wave in chick lit - it is a brilliant novel that is funny, clever and romantic. Not since Sophie Kinsella and Helen Fielding, has there been such a coup d'etat for the genre. If you can only take one book with you on holiday this year- then this is that book.' - Elder Park Book Reviews
'Jules Wake has gifted us with an incredible debut for this story has love, intrigue and danger' - Love of a Good Book

Person
Despite early ambitions, my path to being a published novelist took a diversion when after reading English at the University of East Anglia, I ended up in the glamorous and deeply shallow world of PR, and I spent a number of years honing my fictional writing skills on press releases.
In my head I'm a winning contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, a competitive skydiver and a domestic goddess. Unfortunately in reality I can't dance, or sky dive and dust bunnies gather in every corner of my house but in my fun, romantic comedy, my heroines can be anything they want.
