A woman spends years reshaping herself to win the man she has always wanted, only to find happiness harder to hold than she imagined. Set against the pressures of career, body image, and family life, this is a sharp, honest look at love and self-invention.
True love is always worth the wait... isn't it?
Georgina has been in love with Hugh since she was eighteen. Tall, handsome and career-driven, he's everything she has ever wanted, but completely out of her league. Oh, and married.
Over the years, Georgina transforms herself into the woman she believes Hugh wants. Her efforts pay off. At thirty-two, she has the successful career, the perfect body and, at last, the man she has always desired.
But her dream begins to unravel when she falls pregnant. Already a father of two, Hugh is far from delighted, and as Georgina grows bigger, so does the distance between them.
With the clock ticking towards her baby's arrival, Georgina must confront everything she sacrificed to win Hugh and ask herself one life-changing question:
Who is the real love of her life?
Funny, honest and sharply observed, Larger Than Life is contemporary women's fiction for fans of Marian Keyes and Jane Green, exploring unexpected pregnancy, motherhood, body image and the exhausting pursuit of a perfect life.
