Who can say what has brought Jess and Lindy together? Maybe it's the beach, the stars and the warm Turkish night air. But they may as well get settled for the night, because Jess has a story to tell and Lindy is ready to listen . . . Jess had life sorted. A gang of great mates, an adoring fiancé and a thriving business - she couldn't have asked for more. But the proverbial rug is whipped out from under her feet when the fiancé makes a sharp exit on New Year's Eve. Therein follows the Week From Hell, eternally streaked mascara and Chardonnay-a-plenty. But this is the story of a woman on a path. Sure, there are a number of trips and falls along the way but Jess is on a journey that will change her life. On a boring business course, she remembers what she really wants; in strange new friendships, new ideas grow; and a last-minute discount holiday to Turkey helps her heart wake up to a whole new rhythm. A rhythm that is just beginning to get going . . . WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT 'LIFE IS YOURS' 'Life Is Yours' will take you on a journey of self-discovery led by the lovable and relatable Jess as she struggles to overcome a shattered heart. The magic of this book lies in the nature of it being simultaneously self-help and fiction in one delicious helping as Abi serves up addictive and easily-digestible insights into Jess's mind that everybody will be able to identify with. Her real skill, however, is her ability to cultivate beauty within bleakness: Less submerged in an ocean of despair, Abi gives the reader space to float comfortably in the sunlight while reflecting with Jess from a safe distance. She will have you silently rooting for the heroine in whom we can all see ourselves while at the same time unearthing previously undiscovered gems of your own individuality. So if you are suffering - or have ever suffered - a broken heart, if you've leaned heavily upon the patience of your friends, if you've beaten yourself up for feeling weak, for not getting over someone as quickly as you felt you should have, or if you've simply lost your way, then read this masterpiece of literary wizardry. And then pop it in that cupboard where you keep the painkillers, the plasters, the medicinal brandy and all your other healing balms in preparation for the next heartbreak, and I promise you it will be far easier to bear.'
