"Why on earth am I here?" David wonders as he observes the juvenile antics of ex-classmates at the twenty-five year school reunion. Then he sees Bridget. David draws up a list of all that he hopes to achieve to kick-start a new life now that his wife has moved in with his best friend - his ex-best friend. A relationship with Bridget is top of the list, opening an arts café is a close second. Formidable women - an unfaithful wife, a reckless teenage daughter, a boss from hell, a disapproving policewoman - seem like insurmountable obstacles. But it's still OK to dream, isn't it?

Why has his wife abandoned him after 23 years of blissful marriage? Is she having a midlife crisis? Should he be having one, too? Life is absolutely fine for Hugh and Liz Thorpe in Cambridge, England – a comfortable lifestyle, good health, kids to be proud of and a loving relationship. Then Hugh decides to take early retirement and it all goes hopelessly wrong. A succession of twists and turns are preventing a restoration to the normality that the couple increasingly crave as their children, parents and friends find out that immaturity isn’t exclusively the preserve of the young. A satirical novel about the fragility of even the most robust relationships. If you like wry British humor, this is for you. “This tale of self-doubt, adultery and forgiveness is shot through with humour and compassion. A most enjoyable read.” David Lister, The Independent “Warm, witty, poignant…characters that stay with you.” June Flath, author of A Secret Affair and Lost and Found “Modern life is captured in a completely recognizable way, the style is accessible, vivid and entertaining. Best bit of fiction I've read on this theme.” “Laugh out loud funny and completely moving at the same time.”

Formidable women – an unfaithful wife, a reckless teenage daughter, a boss from hell, a disapproving policewoman – seem like insurmountable obstacles. But it’s still OK to dream, isn’t it? ” I really felt for David. His relationships and interactions with his children, his daughter especially, his ex-wife, ex-friend, and his mother were so well drawn, and each and every word dragged me in deep and deeper until I was fully immersed in the story. I can't recommend this highly enough.” Lilac Mills, author of the Tanglewood Village series ” R J Gould has the most delightful skill of writing his books in a way in which you feel very quickly that you are reading about a friend. I couldn’t put it down and found myself missing Dream Cafe long after I read the last page.” Book Addiction UK ” The characters are instantly recognisable and relatable. They remind you of people you could know in real life. The author has brought serious issues – divorce, lone parenting, a man’s role within the family home – and dealt with them using emotion and humour.” Sharon’s Beyond the Books ” I absolutely love R J Gould’s easy style. Without writing reams of detail, he manages to effortlessly create characters that jump off the page. This is done through witty and well-placed interactions and narrations from the main character. I was rooting for David’s happiness throughout this wonderful book.” Iheartbooks1991 “I love this book! Tender, witty, funny, with characters you can totally relate to. A story about trust, resilience, forgiveness and fresh starts, narrated with humour and insight. It kept my interest hooked and made me smile all the way through. A great read!”

When the current chairman is forced to resign, Laurie, his young and inexperienced deputy, is left in charge, accepting the role on condition that the attractive Helen is prepared to support him as the new deputy. The pair face an unprecedented run of challenges. The builder is failing to deliver on time. A player’s dubious line calls are infuriating opponents. The WhatsApp group has become a hotbed of salacious gossip. A middle-aged flirt is offending the young female members. And poor behaviour at the Dream Café is threatening the agreement. Helen and Laurie are struggling to cope, though tennis club problems are a distant second for Helen as she attempts to start a relationship with Laurie. She’s sure he also wants that but something major is going on in his life to prevent progress. What is that something and can it be overcome?

“It's not a fairy tale – it’s probably the closest to a real life experience I've ever read.” Jack and Jill meet on the Freshers Big Party Night at university and it’s love at first sight. There’s passing amusement when they discover that their names match those of the nursery rhyme, but any connection with the children’s story is long forgotten as their relationship takes off. With their student days over, life couldn’t be better, with successful careers, a dream home, and top of the list, a marriage made in heaven. Then it starts to go wrong – very wrong – and the nursery rhyme plot is mirrored in reality. Jack falls from grace as his stellar career at the investment bank dives as quickly as it had soared. Jill tumbles from her promising teaching career with one crazy act leaving her reputation at school in tatters. And saddest of all, their marriage is on the rocks. Once they were so close, but now are so distant. Is a second chance possible? “A fun, uplifting novel.” David Lister, The Independent “I adored everything about it. An absolutely brilliant true to life romance novel.” “What a refreshing read. A true love story but with a twist.” “Recommended to those with a heart and feelings.” “The characters are real and believable and there is humour to lighten the darker moments.”

‘I didn’t just ‘enjoy’ this book. I rapidly became mesmerised by it, lost in it, consumed to the extent that I couldn’t put it down and had to stay up all night to finish inhabiting this timeless take on life, love, risks, wins and losses.’ Sandy is about to retire following an illustrious career as editor of an upmarket fashion magazine. Michael can’t retire, he thinks his work to explain the dangers of climate change is far too important. Jonathan would like to retire from running his fundraising consultancy but a family crisis is getting in the way. These three were the best of friends at university before a tragedy wrecked their friendship. That was fifty years ago and they haven’t spoken since. Sandy urges the other two to join her at a weekend reunion. Together they reminisce about their student days, such a wild era with its heady mix of free love, drugs and ground-breaking music. They share their life journeys since the Swinging Sixties – the successes and failures, the happiness and despair, and their optimism and fears for the future. The reunion is drawing to a close. Dare they tackle the incident that tore them apart, an event that has brought guilt for so many years? If they are to have any chance of reconciliation they have to, but the clock is ticking.
