BESTSELLING AUTHOR CHRISSIE MANBY Two siblings. One family tragedy. Who will pick up the pieces? New Year's Eve, 1991: three generations of the Fenton family gather in their grand North Yorkshire home for what they don't yet know will be their last meal together.

But when tragedy hits, the two siblings are thrown into a tailspin of grief from which one of them may never recover. As the family crumbles, Jamie and Caz realise that adulthood doesn't come with a manual - and they're far less prepared for life than they thought. Dark humour meets family dysfunction in this gripping, heartfelt debut novel about what happens when the grown-ups are gone and there's no-one left to take their place. about what happens when the adults have left the room and no-one has a clue what to do...
