<b>A brilliant, funny new novel from the bestselling, beloved Danielle Hawkins</b><br/><br/><i>'</i>Take Two<i> is that rare and special thing, a novel that is effortless to read - I sped through it in a day - but is also emotionally genuine and original. Danielle Hawkins is a natural storyteller with a light touch and she doesn't shy away from the gritty and the real. She is New Zealand's very own version of Marian Keyes.</i>' - Nicky Pellegrino<br/><br/>Sometimes you have to revisit your past to find your future.<br/><br/>Laura and Doug were together for ages. Their breakup was just one of those things - she wanted children, he didn't, no hard feelings - at least not until, with their relationship barely cold in its grave, he got his new girlfriend pregnant.<br/><br/>Now, seven years later, a polite social call to his parents lands Laura back in the family, helping Doug and his playboy younger brother to cope with a whole raft of crises. And what better time to re-evaluate your major life decisions than when you're wrangling a farm, a bookshop, two small children, your ex's wife in labour and his two sick parents?<br/> <br/>This is Danielle Hawkins' best novel yet. Funny, tender and not afraid to tackle the big issues, it will have you laughing and shedding tears in equal measure.<br/> <br/>''Hawkins is reliably kind, drily funny, and observant ... like Jane Austen in Red Band gumboots.'' - <i>The New Zealand Herald.</i>
