The Making of Us

Don’t miss this heart-wrenching, romantic book club pick from bestseller Debbie Howells – perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond, Jojo Moyes and Colleen Hoover. Sometimes you need to be lost, before you can be found… Stevie is on the flight back to where she lives in rural France, trying not to think about everything she’s lost, whilst also trying not panic about flying. But as the plane heads up into the clouds, she finds herself clutching the hand of the handsome stranger sitting in the seat next to her. It is a moment that will change everything. But Ned has a tragedy of his own to overcome. Neither of them is in the right place to think about that unmistakeable flame that just flickered between them. Their paths keep crossing though, leading them both to the same beautiful community garden in a small French village. And it becomes clear that fate is going to keep bringing them together – the two of them have to ask – if they’re ready for a happy-ever-after, then do they even know how to find it?
