Saturdays At Noon

£7.99

Emily just wants to keep the world away. She doesn’t want anyone to know all the ways her life is messed up. Going to anger management every Saturday, talking to strangers, was not part of the plan. Jake just wants to keep his family together. Somehow, he’s messed everything up. Going to anger management is now his best hope to save his marriage and bond with his six-year-old Alfie. Emily can’t understand why Jake – who seems to have it all – is there. Jake can’t understand why Alfie – who never likes strangers – lights up around spiky Emily. Everything they think about each other is about to change. But can they change how they feel about themselves?

EMILY JUST WANTS TO KEEP THE WORLD AWAY.

After getting into trouble yet again, she’s agreed to attend anger management classes. But she refuses to share her deepest secrets with a room full of strangers.

JAKE JUST WANTS TO KEEP HIS FAMILY TOGETHER.

He’ll do anything to save his marriage and bond with his six-year-old son, Alfie. But when he’s paired with spiky Emily, he wonders whether opening up will do more harm than good.

The two of them couldn’t be more different. Yet when Alfie, who never likes strangers, meets Emily, something extraordinary happens.

COULD ONE SMALL BOY CHANGE EVERYTHING?
