About
Tania, 44. Recently divorced and looking for some fun in her life...
...but what her family and best friend don't know is that she has a bad habit of slipping into old ways - namely one ex-husband.
Helen, 60s. Widow of two years and ready for what the next chapter will bring...
...but having only known one man her whole life, she's not sure if she can put herself out there again after so long.
Priya, 45. Loves to meet new people and always up for a good time...
...but her love-and-leave-them attitude towards relationships is tiring these days, and she's wondering if she'll ever meet the right person that can break through her walls.
These three women are single and ready to mingle - the men of this world better watch out. But as they make plans to reinvent themselves and navigate a whole new dating scene together, a series of surprises and old secrets make the path to love a bumpy ride... Ronali Collings was born and bred in Middlesex, has a degree in English Literature from King's College London, studied law and worked in finance for 16 years. After several years as a stay-at-home mother and decades of vicarious living through books, she rediscovered her passion for writing and graduated with a MA in Creative Writing from Brunel University under the supervision of Bernardine Evaristo.
You can follow Ronali on X @RonaliCollings and Instagram @ronalicollings. A warm, witty and hilariously relatable debut about second chances. Author is based in Northwood (Middlesex), United Kingdom. Perfect for fans of Yinka, Where is Your Huzband?, The Shelf and Marian Keyes. Previously published as Love & Other Dramas It was a joy to read this story of three British Asian women who must navigate difficult relationships, cultural friction, and happy discoveries that will change their lives forever. Collings' wry sense of humour and empathy made Love & Other Dramas all the more satisfying to read. What a stunning novel with such visceral writing and emotions. I really felt like I knew the three women - I felt all their highs and lows and was sad when it came to an end. A brilliant debut! Three women on the brink of a major crossroads, fighting societal expectation and the narrow confines of their gender role... I LOVED this brilliant book which reminds us it's never too late to be who we want to be. Love & Other Dramas is a testament to the power of community and (unsurprisingly) love, as well as the importance of embracing messiness before you can arrive at true happiness. To say that I laughed and cried and was overwhelmed by this delight of a book might sound clichéd but is the absolute truth. A funny and relatable story of three women trying to discover who they really are in a world that would prefer them to fit in with expectations. Love & Other Dramas is a beautifully written, warm and insightful novel about three women, each dealing with the secrets of their past and the challenges of their present. I loved each of these wonderful, flawed characters and was hugely captivated by the twists and turns of their lives. This story is fresh, frank and funny. I loved it. I read this book so fast, and was able to relate so hard to a lot of the situations, in terms of understanding the difficulties all three women faced, as they finally became open to finding their true selves... It was a truly wonderful read. I can't remember the last time I was rooting so hard for characters in a book to make it. Women everywhere will recognise themselves in the pages and at the same time see the world from another perspective. Love & Other Dramas is the kind of novel that captures your heart from the first to the last page. I am in love with this book! A superb, gripping story of family and friendship, with characters who jump off the page and will have you rooting for them all the way. I couldn't put it down. A warm and insightful story about the expectations placed on women, and the struggle to create a life of one's own. I loved the explorat
