An uplifting and feel-good read perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Beth O'Leary! Recommended on Zoe Ball's The Radio 2 Book Club! 'A heart-warming, life-affirming gem . . . full of wry humour'Pernille Hughes bestselling author of Probably the Best Kiss in the World Dr Tess Carter is no starry-eyed heroine. After all, if your dad left without a backward glance you wouldn't believe in romance either. And the voices in Tess's head – you know, the ones that tell you you're not good enough, not pretty enough, not clever enough – well, these voices are very loud. Very loud indeed. Especially when the disagreeable son of one of her patients starts challenging her every decision. Edward Russell might have a big job and a posh voice, but Tess is determined not to let him get to her. And Edward, it turns out, may be less of a grump than he first appears... In the real world, where gentlemanlike manners and out-of-the-blue declarations of love are a story-book fantasy, it's up to Tess to decide whose voice to listen to ... and how to make her own heard. 'This is a romcom like no romcom you've read before – and all the better for it! I loved every word' Nicola Gill What readers think of Love Life: 'I laughed, I cried and then I laughed and cried some more. It was moving, funny, emotional in all the right measures and kept me wanting to read on' Louise 'Who knew I needed a romcom set in a hospice?! As it turns out this was actually really funny and thoughtful' Clari 'So many layers of depth that make it a compelling read...I really fell head over heels for this touching story' Ritu 'My first book by this author and it will not be my last. I would recommend this book for those who are looking for something different in their romance' Ashley 'One of my favorite reads in a long time...I liked it so much, I immediately began reading it again' Jennifer
