Jane has everything under control. Though her ex-husband has moved an hour away, totally disrupting her daughters' routines, and her mother has died, her publisher has dropped her and her literary agent no longer wants to represent her. She's even organised enough to be able to stand in for an ill friend and teach a residential writing course at a day's notice.
But the last student to arrive, in a flurry of drama and noise, is the person who will bring everything crashing down: Lucy, the woman who Jane's husband left her for, his second wife. How can the two possibly spend a week together?
But this course could mean a serious boost to the writing career of one of them. How can they not?
'Nicola Gill is the queen of fresh, funny, uplifting fiction with brilliantly relatable characters who you can't help caring about'. Frances Quinn
'I have adored all of Nicola Gill's books, but this one might just be my favourite yet. Smart and funny, I found it impossible to put down. With twists and turns and no idea how things would be resolved, it was an absolute treat of a read. With a spotlight on the complicated aspects of human nature, and the messy situations we find ourselves in, the novel is infused with compassion, warmth and a brilliant sense of humour. I defy anyone not to love this book!' Louise Fein, author of Daughter of the Reich
'Two hilariously relatable characters and one cringingly embarrassing situation make for an unputdownable story, filled with Nicola Gill's trademark wit and warmth. The Replacement is the ultimate feelgood read: laugh out loud funny, but with real emotional depth and characters you can't help caring about' Frances Quinn
'Nicola Gill writes wonderful characters and puts them in toe-curling situations with poignancy, humour and pathos' Nikki Smith
'Nicola Gill has once again created such brilliant and real characters, infused them with her signature wit and placed them into a hilarious yet relatable predicament. Both funny and touching, The Replacement may just be her best yet' Charlotte Levin, author of I Can't Have You
