A book I missed in my April Releases post was Clare Dowling’s new novel Just The Three of Us. It came out on April 2nd in Hardcover and will be out in Paperback in November. The blurb from Amazon reads:
Debs is having an affair with a married man. Not that she meant to or anything. But while she was miserably hanging around waiting for Mr Right – if only she could lose that stubborn half stone – Bob just kind of happened. Lovely, kind, sexy Bob. OK, he’s also a rampant cheat, but when you’ve been starved of affection for as long as Debs has, it’s hard to say no. Geri is married to Bob. She also thinks he’s lovely, kind and sexy, even if the last bit has worn a bit thin after seventeen years of marriage. And two kids. And the horrible sound he makes brushing his teeth in the mornings. But that’s the reality of marriage for you, or is it? Geri suspects something’s wrong but surely Bob would never do anything to hurt her… So for now it’s just the three of them – but how long can that last?
Clare Dowling is the author of 6 other novels: Fast Forward, Expecting Emily, Amazing Grace, My Fabulous Divorce, No Strings Attached and Going It Alone (in my to-read pile). Clare was born in Kilkenny in 1968. She trained as an actress and has worked in theatre, film and radio. She has had drama and children’s fiction published and she writes scripts for Ireland’s top soap, FAIR CITY. She lives in Dublin and is married with one son and one daughter.
