Things I Wish I'd Known

'A really emotional twist which I was in no way expecting!' Amazon reader. From the bestselling author of While My Eyes Were Closed comes a poignant novel about what could have been...

Claire Cooper had a teen idol back in the 80s. Except her teen idol was a bit different to everyone else's. Because he stepped out of the poster on her bedroom wall straight into her life. She thought it was going to be forever. She was wrong.

When Claire discovers the '20 Years From Now' list she wrote as a teenager, she realises how far removed her life is from the one she'd imagined. Divorced, stuck in a dead-end job and dating a man who is desperate to settle down to a future she doesn't want, she decides it's time to put her life back on track. But what really happened between Claire and her teen idol all those years ago? And is meeting him again the way to make her dreams come true...or will it end up being a terrible mistake?
