    Summary

    Carla Connor never thought she’d be here — planning a wedding, trying on dresses, and actually letting someone in deep enough to promise forever. Lisa Swain, steady and unshakable, has been the one to pull her back from the brink and prove that love doesn’t have to mean pain.

    But in true Weatherfield style, nothing about planning a wedding runs smoothly. From chaotic dress fittings (with Michelle in full meddling mode), to stag and hen do disasters, last-minute doubts, and the ghosts of the past, Carla and Lisa must hold tight to what they’ve built.

    With friends and family alternately helping and causing chaos, the journey to “I do” is anything but simple. Yet through the laughter, tears, and trials, one truth shines through: together, they’re stronger.

    A heartfelt, dramatic, and often funny story of love, friendship, and fighting for the happy ending they both deserve.

    Summary

    “You said it was bad,” Lena managed to hoarsely respond after a beat too long.

    Nodding, Lillian stared up at the ceiling for a moment, her throat bobbing as her lips twisted wryly. “I’m dying. Stage four pancreatic cancer.”

    “How long do you have?”

    “A month, maybe two.”

    “Oh.”

    -

    Returning home for the first time in twelve years to the news that her mother is dying, the last thing that Lena wants is to run into the childhood best friend she hasn't spoken to since she left Midvale all those years ago. Especially when said friend was the reason Lena swore she'd never go back home again.

    Still harbouring the sting of teenage love and rejection, as well as the pressure of her unsatisfying career and resentment towards her mother, Lena's life is brought to a halt in her hometown as she's forced to confront years of repressed feelings and the truth about what she really wants out of life while waiting for her mother to die.
