The joyful, emotional new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling of The Unmumsy Mum and Stepping Up.
Sometimes, in order to move forward, you need to go back.
Joni's always felt like an outsider in her blended family, and as an adult she's done all she can to avoid them. The only person she's remained close to is her beloved Nana.
When Nana dies, she leaves behind something unexpected- an itinerary of pre-arranged activities for the whole family to complete over the course of a week. After years of trying but failing to bring Joni back into the fold, this appears to be Nana's parting shot. After all, nothing says 'family bonding' quite like abseiling and ballroom dancing.
With marriage and kids on the horizon, the life Joni's always dreamed of is finally within touching distance. The last thing she wants to do is revisit the past.
But Joni's about to discover that a lot can happen in seven days. Nana's Week of Fun is about to change everything...

Sarah Turner lives in Devon with her husband, three sons and Frank
the cat.
After graduating with first-class honours in Philosophy from the
University of Exeter, she dabbled in careers in finance and higher
education before a 'warts and all' parenting blog she'd started in
order to let off steam gathered unexpected momentum and writing
became her full-time job.
She has since written four Sunday Times bestsellers- The Unmumsy
Mum, The Unmumsy Mum Diary, The Unmumsy Mum A-Z and her first
novel, Stepping Up, which was a Richard and Judy Book Club pick in
2023.
Sarah likes bookshops, walks along the river and watching her boys
play football. She doesn't like parking, films with sharks in or
writing about herself in the third person.
You can follow Sarah's reading, writing and parenting adventures on
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (@theunmumsymum).
