It\u2019s messy and complex and I may have overreached myself. There are two timelines and I\u2019m not (yet) sure how well they work together. Sometimes I think it\u2019s fresh and funny and zeitgeisty (my contemporary heroine is a novelist with Opinions); other times I worry it\u2019s banal and clich\u00e9d. It requires a different energy from the other books: they are all finished or more-or-less finished, and any further work is very much about refining and making them the best versions of themselves. Whereas here, though I have planned the story, I surprise myself every day \u2013 or the characters do \u2013 with things I hadn\u2019t planned for, but which instinct tells me are \u2018right\u2019. This morning, for example, I woke up realising that my protagonists\u2019 parents aren\u2019t dead: they\u2019re in Spain!
