A long-lost love. An end-of-life party. One last chance to change everything . . .

It's 2067 at Palm Meridian Retirement Resort, Florida, and the last day of Hannah's life. Tomorrow, as the sun burns the dew off the lawns, she'll close her eyes for the very last time.

But she won't be going quietly. Tonight, Hannah's throwing an end-of-life party: the drinks are on ice, and the palm trees are strung with lights beneath technicolour skies. And though Hannah has less than twenty-four hours left, she's holding out for one last, impossible thing...

Amongst the guest list is Hannah's long-lost love Sophie - the woman who Hannah can't forget, even after forty years. Hannah has to give her greatest love one last try.

Soon, the party is in full swing. Hannah waits nervously, unaware that before her last ever dawn breaks, a devastating secret will come to light. If Sophie shows, how can Hannah say goodbye all over again? And is there enough time to fix the past?

Brimming with heart, and just as hilarious as it is heartbreaking, Palm Meridian is a one-of-a kind novel that will stay with you forever. Grace & Frankie meets The Notebook, for fans of Malibu Rising, this bittersweet novel affirms that life is what we choose to make of it, and any story can be a love story, if you let it.

Palm Meridian
Palm Meridian is a vibrant book about living life colourfully.
The resort setting is fun, a bit kitsch and still full of life. This is the kind of retirement you wish to have for sure. I found the story to be reflect... READ MORE
