Lisa Jewells writing is like a big warm hug. After the Party is a touching, insightful, and gripping story which I simply couldnt put down. —Sophie Kinsella From the internationally bestselling author of The House We Grew Up In comes an irresistible novel about the power of starting over. Eleven years ago, Jem Catterick and Ralph McLeary fell deeply in love. They thought it would be forever, that theyd found their happy ending. As everyone agreed, they were the perfect couple. Then two became four, and an apartment became a house. Romantic nights out became sleepless nights in. And they soon found that life wasnt quite so simple anymore. But through it all, Jem and Ralph still loved each other. Of course they did. Now Jem is back at work part-time as a talent agent.
