As Will tries to come to terms with the downward spiral of his life, he starts to realise there's more to Red than he thought--there's a real human being under all that leather and attitude, a dad determined to make up for lost time and help his son get back on track. Can Will make his peace with a father seeking forgiveness?

From the bestselling author of Dumped, Actually comes a laugh-out-loud story about saving your job...and maybe saving the planet in the process. Meet Ellie Cooke. When it comes to all things environmental she's, well, a bit 'green'. It's not that she doesn't care about things like climate change and plastic pollution, it's just that life has always got in the way of that sort of thing. But when the PR firm Ellie works for is taken over by keen environmentalist Nolan Reece, it's clear that if she wants to save her job, she's going to have to get serious about being green--or face being recycled. Going green is no walk in the park, though. It involves a lot of big changes, tough choices...and at least one case of accidentally showing your knickers off to your boss. Can Ellie do enough to save her job, and maybe do her bit to help save the planet while she's at it? And what will Nolan think of her, now that she can't stop thinking about him...?

The diagnosis: Andy is in the grip of a self-destructive addiction to technology--he just cannot put that bloody mobile phone down. Texting, tweeting, gaming and online dating--technology rules Andy's life. His phone even monitors his bowel movements. So how will he cope when he's forced to follow doctor's orders and step away from all of his beloved screens?

And when his sixty-day detox hits the headlines--making him a hero to suffering technophiles everywhere--Andy is sorely tempted to pack it all in and escape in the nearest Uber. Can he get himself out of this mess, and work out how to live a better, technologically balanced life...without consulting Google even once?

Even on the other side of the world, problems always have a way of finding you.

Sometimes, the hardest part of becoming a parent is keeping a straight face. Just ask Jamie and Laura Newman, who (thanks to a rather relaxed attitude to contraception) find themselves about to have a baby. It's obviously a terrifying prospect for a newly married couple, but as long as they stick together they'll be just fine - right? They'd better because the path between falling in love and those first few baby steps is littered with obstacles.

Nick Spalding tried to write a book in 24 hours. Turns out that's impossible... it took 30! Life... With No Breaks is a unique, hilarious and heartfelt look at the modern world we live in, told by a master story-teller with much to say - and only a weekend to say it in. You'll laugh out loud reading Nick's odyssey of non-stop writing in a collection of anecdotes, asides and stories - all dredged up from an over-stimulated brain functioning on caffeine, nicotine and the occasional chocolate biscuit. The book is a conversation with you, and with Nick you'll venture into the thorny topics of love, life, sex, horribly timed bowel movements and a deathly fear of sponges (among many other things). After you've read Life... With No Breaks, you may never look at the world the same way again!
