Lottie Carlyle can't quite believe what's just happened. When you're a teenager in love with a wildly unsuitable boy, you expect your parents to object. But Lottie, now a fully-fledged grown-up, never imagined her children doing the same. Tyler Klein isn't even wildly unsuitable - he's a catch. But as far as Nat and Ruby are concerned, he's the devil incarnate. And it's not like Lottie doesn't have enough to worry about. Errant ex-husband Mario is up to his old tricks and best friend Cressida is propositioning strangers in shops. Lottie is always busy sorting everyone else out - until the day she discovers that an attack of the hiccups can have the power, just possibly, to change your life.
