___________
There are millions of people who would love to start over. Pete Smith isn't one of them.
Between the divorce, the debt, and the dying travel business, no one seems to need him anymore. So, when his 23-year-old daughter moves back home, Pete's thrilled, even if it means Susie's bothersome boyfriend, Niall, comes to stay as well.
But when Susie flies the nest for good, Pete finds himself stuck with a flatmate he never signed up for...
One day he'll get around to fixing the lock on the bathroom door, figuring out what to do with his failing business, evicting his daughter's boyfriend from his house, and maybe even getting over his ex-wife.
But it turns out there are some things you can't put off until later – and some people who won't let you.

paperback. Etat : Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
