I’m a big, big fan of author Rowan Coleman and have read the majority of her novels. I thoroughly enjoyed her last book The Happy Home For Broken Hearts and I’m really looking forward to her new novel Lessons In Laughing Out Loud that will be released on 21st July 2011. I think the cover is quite beautiful (although I’m sad it doesn’t match any of Rowan’s other novels!). Here’s the synopsis:

Willow and Holly are identical twins. They are everything to each other. Holly calls Willow her rock, her soul mate, her other half. And Willow feels the same about Holly. They are alike in every respect except one – Willow is afraid on the inside. And all because of a secret – one that binds the sisters closely together and yet has meant their adult lives have taken two very different paths. Willow often feels there are large parts of her missing, qualities she only knows she’s lacking because she sees them in her sister. For a very long time Willow has felt separated from Holly by one terrible moment in time – a moment that meant Willow’s life was never the same again. And when the past catches up with her, Willow realises it’s finally time for her to face her fears, and – with Holly’s help – learn to laugh out loud once more…
