Anywhere But Here follows three friends at a life-changing crossroads. It is a warm, hilarious, and page-turning novel about finding out what makes you happy when you thought you had it all figured out. Vicki is one of those authors that every Irish woman needs in her life. Her words are not only a massive comfort, but she writes with a beautiful familiarity that makes it feel like you're talking to your friend.

What is Anywhere But Here about?

Three friends at life-changing crossroads…

Matilda: Living the dream: presenting breakfast TV in Dublin and married to a man with a mega media career in the UK. But when she turns up in their London flat to surprise him for his birthday, it’s she who gets the surprise – a bad one.

Sadie: In the business she always loved – journalism – but it’s dying on its feet. Meanwhile, her house is falling apart, her romantic life is just as ramshackle, and nasty flashbacks to her past are becoming more than just a nuisance.

Jess: The one who was sorted early - married a lovely man, had two gorgeous babies. But with a distant husband and teenage twins who think she’s tragic, nothing she believed about herself makes sense anymore.

Matilda, Sadie, and Jess take off to Donegal to do some serious soul-searching. But maybe the answers to their problems lie closer to home?

Anywhere But Here will be published on July 23rd. Pre-order here and add it to your summer reading list.
