But Simon comes with baggage: seven-year-old daughter, Lydia, who's less than keen for a new mother - especially one as clueless as Annie.  Soon the Keelers relocate to an exclusive small town in Connecticut. Amongst the country clubs, landscaped gardens and fashionable parents, Annie struggles to fit in. And after forgetting to collect her step-daughter from school and hosting the dinner party from hell, she begins to wonder if she's mother material.  Enlisting the help of some new friends and a frisky horse called PomPom, Annie is determined to step up to the plate, but can she ever become the wife and mother her ready-made family needs...?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49567486935313,"sku":"GOR003697819","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1409103412.jpg?v=1750986942"},{"product_id":"wrong-sort-of-wife-book-elise-chidley-9780752884578","title":"The Wrong Sort of Wife?","description":"Lizzie Buckley has a life many women dream of - a gorgeous husband, wonderful home and beautiful (when they're not fighting) three year old twins. But there's a snag. It's not that Lizzie has gone off marriage, as such. Well, not exactly. She's just gone off the physical side of it. Ever since the birth of the twins, she's had a fantasy about locking herself in her bedroom for 24 hours alone with a good book and a box of chocolates. Unfortunately, her husband James doesn't understand her feelings. And when Lizzie hits 'send' on the wrong email, suddenly everything starts to unravel. With the word 'divorce' ringing in her ears, Lizzie finds herself moving out and embarking on a totally different life - new house; new neighbours; no husband.  But despite transforming her body, her neglected career and her libido (courtesy of the local landscape gardener), Lizzie can't get over her soon-to-be ex. Lizzie can't help wondering whether she was ever good enough for gorgeous James. Or, as her mother-in-law suggests, was she just the wrong sort of wife? The other side of much misunderstanding, mayhem and more than a little merlot, Lizzie will find out if she wanted the fairy tale ending after all...","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599946227985,"sku":"GOR003678484","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49604106158353,"sku":"GOR002878468","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49632161104145,"sku":"GOR003382155","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0752884573.jpg?v=1751042676"},{"product_id":"married-with-baggage-book-elise-chidley-9780752889016","title":"Married with Baggage","description":"'She'd never dreamt she'd wind up being a mum before she had a baby.'
