Description

The Rule of Three is funny, relatable and uplifting contemporary women's memoir (with benefits) that takes us on a journey of second chances, self-discovery, and female empowerment. Following one woman's gloriously messy comeback after her life explodes in spectacular fashion and with an endearing, fiercely human female protagonist at its heart, the Rule of Three is witty, emotional, and wonderfully life-affirming.

When Julia discovers her husband's affair, her world detonates. A faithful wife and devoted mother, she believed she had sex, love and marriage firmly under control. Suddenly she's none of those things she thought defined her. What she is, however, is nearly fifty, furious, heartbroken and dangerously open to suggestion... especially when her son's girlfriend prescribes a radical cure:

The Rule of Three.

Three men. Three flings. Three chances to find out what-and who-Julia really wants before deciding whether to forgive, forget, or finally walk away.

As Julia takes on her three-man mandate, she begins to realise the truth: reclaiming her husband may not be the victory she imagined. The real victory is her own transformation-in passion and identity, confidence and power. As Julia moves through experiences that are sexy, messy and full of emotional punch, she discovers that losing everything she thought defined her might just be the best thing that ever happened. The real transformation isn't about reclaiming her husband-it's about reclaiming her life.

Warm, smart and emotionally generous, this is the perfect feel-good, beach read and a standout pick for holiday fiction reads. Brimming with humour, vulnerability and the triumphant joy of starting over, The Rule of Three sits confidently within modern women's creative fiction, offering the sublime blend of uplifting, emotional storytelling and laugh-out-loud comedy that readers crave.

A memoir (with benefits) for readers who love Marian Keyes, David Nicholls and Jo Jo Moyes.
