Joyce knows only the world of books can offer safety and comfort to her neighbourhood - and she will make sure no one is left behind. Joyce sets up a mobile library scheme, but soon her acts of resistance go beyond sharing books.

From psychoanalysis in Vienna to blood transfusions in London, the Comte learns that a holiday is as good as a change.

Between her growing business, her recently failed relationship and her energetic grandkids, she needs to get away. So when her tiddas suggest they take their yearly girls’ trip international and hit Hawai'i, Abbey says yes faster than you can say aloha.  Before Abbey, Stevie and Caitlin head to paradise, they make a pact: they will do nothing but indulge in mai tais and sunsets – oh, and run a half marathon. It’ll be just what Abbey needs, and she’s determined to put herself first for once. Then Abbey meets Kaleo, a man who makes her heart race, and things get complicated.

Cookie has his work cut out preparing him for the upcoming behavioural assessment that will decide his fate: pass, and Good Boy will be up for adoption and the chance of finding a loving home for the first time in his life; fail, and he will be put down.
