Consider Yourself Kissed

What unfolds when love is found but life's challenges continually interfere? When Coralie first encounters Adam, she is a newcomer to London, feeling lost and uncertain. Adam, with his sharp intellect, humor, and his claim of being slightly taller than the average British man, captivates her. His delightful four-year-old daughter, Zora, further enhances his allure. Yet, after a decade, Coralie senses that something crucial is lacking in the life she and Adam have created—primarily shaped by her efforts. It's possible that, in achieving everything she once desired, Coralie has lost a part of herself. Set against a backdrop of a tumultuous decade marked by the turnover of five Prime Ministers, Brexit, and the Covid pandemic, "Consider Yourself Kissed" explores the intricate dance between personal love and family dynamics amidst societal upheaval. This compelling narrative offers a vivid portrayal of a woman immersed in love, weaving together elements of humor and heart, public events and private moments. The story is praised for its sweet tenderness by Pandora Sykes and lauded for its originality by Catherine Newman, a New York Times bestselling author. Madeleine Gray admits a twinge of jealousy for not having penned it herself, while Daisy Buchanan admires its cleverness and emotional core. Readers like Jennie Godfrey resonate deeply with Coralie's journey, and Claire Daverley finds the characters so well-crafted that it feels like observing real lives unfold from a distance.
