A magical novel full of heart and soul – perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Giovanna Fletcher

All it takes is a bolt from the blue to change your life forever…


When Jessica Taylor is struck by lightning one afternoon whilst walking her dog, she has no idea how dramatically her life is going to change…

Lucky to survive, Jessica wakes up in a hospital bed – but as someone else. Apparently she's now Lauren Richardson, wife and mother of four young children. No one will believe her story – she can hardly believe it herself.

Later that night, Jessica wakes up again – as herself. She quickly works out that when Lauren sleeps, she wakes up as Jessica. But when Lauren is awake, she must sleep – whatever the time of day. Needless to say, it plays havoc with her work and her blossoming relationship with Dan Brennan, the handsome stranger who saved her on the Downs that fateful day.

Jessica has no idea what has happened to her and whether she can get back to life as she knows it. Meanwhile, she must quickly get the hang of looking after four demanding children, an even more demanding husband and also learn all about the woman in whose designer shoes she now stands.

But as she digs deeper into Lauren's life, she unearths some secrets, secrets which may tear the family apart…

About the Author

Melanie Rose was an avid reader from an early age and found herself looking at the world around her and wondering 'what if?' She began writing as a teenager, progressing to short stories and articles for magazines and newspapers. She trained as a nursery nurse and later became a play therapist on the children's ward at the Royal Marsden Hospital, continuing to write in her spare time.
She self-published her first novel which was voted one of the favourite reads of the year by listeners of Radio 4's Open Book programme.
She now lives in Surrey with her husband and four sons, who, along with many of the children she has cared for, provide much inspiration for her books.

Reviews

‘A thrilling read which knocks the shine of ever wishing you were someone else … Fans of Sophie Kinsella will love Melanie Rose.’ News of the World ‘A wacky, improbable tale of two girls being struck by lightning at the same time with interesting consequences. It’s Cecelia Ahern territory, highly recommended.’ The Bookseller ‘A complex and captivating novel which takes that feeling of deja vu to a new dimension … Rose is fast becoming an accomplished writer and her clever books an unmissable treat.’ Lancashire Evening Post ‘Highly recommend.’ The Bookseller

Jessica Taylor meets the man of her dreams moments before she's struck by lightning and wakes up in someone else's body. She alternates between her two realities as she struggles with what to do with the complications in both lives. Some of this plot seemed vaguely familiar because I've read variations before, though this certainly was a unique twist. You certainly have to suspend disbelief big time for this novel - this should be the novel's mantra. For a while, I was really curious as to how it was all going to play out. But then I could see it coming, couldn't believe she went there (what are the odds?!), and had to remind myself of the mantra again.
