About this ebook

From the bestselling author of The Life You Left Behind.

Marie Kondo for the soul.

Anna and Will have been passing in and out of each other’s lives since they were just teenagers.

Now 20 years later, Anna is married - she has a lovely house, a grown-up stepdaughter and a husband with a good job.

What she doesn’t have is joy. When she runs into Will it sparks something in her, a longing for the Anna she used to be.

Together they embark on a journey to find what brings them joy, to discard what doesn’t and to become the people they always wanted to be.

But in finding themselves, can they also find each other?
