Grace had it all, but couldn't hold it all... A story of love, chaos and the music in-between, perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Twenty years ago, Grace only wanted to be with Trent - a boy with a guitar and a lot of promises. Her mother, Dorothy, wanted her daughter to fulfil her potential.

In a fit of fury and heartbreak, Grace boards a plane to London where she builds a dazzling career in the music industry, marries Ed who would do anything for her, and has two children (one who might be a sociopath, but the other seems fine).

That glamorous lifestyle is a distant memory as Grace drags her kids and a particularly irritating dachshund back to the Blue Mountains, where Dorothy is waiting with a roast and inevitable questions about why Ed is no longer in the - seemingly perfect - picture. On a McDonald's pitstop, Grace bumps into a ghost from the past...Trent.

'I loved this book. I inhaled it. Warm, familiar and mesmerising. I will think about Better Days for many years to come. Zorn's writing is masterful, expanding our understanding of what it means to be a mother and what it means to be a daughter. I want more from her, immediately. If you're in a reading rut, this will pull you out of it.' Jessie Stephens, author of Something Bad is Going to Happen

'Claire Zorn writes beautifully, crisply and with gentle wisdom and humour about how our past selves and loves are folded into the person we become.' Jaclyn Moriarty, author of The Impossible Secret of Lillian Velvet

'A thoroughly entertaining and absorbing read. Unflinching in its detail, yet compassionate in its telling. An expertly observed story of friendship, fortune, love, obligation, choice, consequence, possibility, and song.' Clare Bowditch, musician and author of Your Own Kind of Girl
