According to The Bookseller, Sheila O’Flanagan has achieved her first ever UK number 1 book! Someone Special sold a massive 34,776 copies in just 7 days, and is now top of the charts in both the UK and Ireland! Here’s the synopsis in case you fancy picking up a copy:

“Romy Kilkenny loves her life in Australia she has her dream job, lots of mates, and a best friend in Keith, who understands her better than anyone. Best of all, she couldn’t be further from her family. But when her brother rings to say she’s needed back in Ireland right away, Romy’s world is turned upside down. Flying home to see her mother and her half-siblings, Romy doubts she’ll fit in better now than she ever did, and she’s still not ready to forgive her mother for her truly disgraceful behaviour a few years earlier. Romy also worries that the accidental half-kiss with Keith at the airport may have brought their easy friendship to a sudden end. Whatever lies ahead, it’s not what Romy’s expecting - even the people we grow up with can surprise us, and if love is to be found, it will find a way.”

I have only read one of Sheila’s novels, Anyone But Him which is a few years old and I loved it so I must definitely get a copy of this one, it sounds great!

Congratulations on your number 1, Sheila!
