From there it escalates to places I never would have expected or guessed. I honestly couldn’t put it down.

And get this, if you join @thebookload.bsky.social on Facebook you can find out how to get 50% off the hardback if you preorder this month at Waterstones.

Connie, mum of three girls, is at the centre of things, just as she was in Parks’ first novel, Playing Away.

The novel is built around a shock pregnancy announcement from Connie’s eldest daughter, Fran, who is 21 and home from university for Christmas with her new boyfriend.

It’s tense and taut and really makes you think about what and who matters the most. I think this will be huge next year, and deservedly so.

Big thanks to @louiseswannell.bsky.social and @headlinebooks.bsky.social for my early proof. #Room706

It’s an extreme wrong place at the wrong time scenario, because both Kate and James are happily married to other people. They meet every few months for sex.

It’s also the story of Kate and Vic, the husband she’s betraying in a bid to keep hold of herself.
