Marian Keyes | Penguin, $38<br />
The global #1 bestseller’s latest heartstopper. Anna had a dream<br />
life – according to everybody else. She lived in New York, had<br />

a highly successful beauty PR. So why did she decide to take a<br />
flamethrower to the lot? Now she’s back in Dublin, living with<br />
her parents. When an opportunity arises to solve a PR crisis in<br />
the tiny town of Maumtully, Anna leaps at the chance. But will<br />
the appearance of an old love interest derail her plans?<br />

TAKE TWO<br />
Danielle Hawkins | Allen & Unwin, $37<br />
Laura and Doug were together for ages. Their break-up was just<br />

feelings – at least not until, with their relationship barely cold in its<br />
grave, he got his new girlfriend pregnant. Now, seven years later,<br />
a polite social call to his parents lands Laura back in the family.<br />
Funny, tender and not afraid to tackle the big issues, this Kiwi<br />
novel will have you laughing and shedding tears in equal measure.<br />
