“It's not a fairy tale – it’s probably the closest to a real life experience I've ever read.”
Jack and Jill meet on the Freshers Big Party Night at university and it’s love at first sight. There’s passing amusement when they discover that their names match those of the nursery rhyme, but any connection with the children’s story is long forgotten as their relationship takes off.
With their student days over, life couldn’t be better, with successful careers, a dream home, and top of the list, a marriage made in heaven.
Then it starts to go wrong – very wrong – and the nursery rhyme plot is mirrored in reality. Jack falls from grace as his stellar career at the investment bank dives as quickly as it had soared. Jill tumbles from her promising teaching career with one crazy act leaving her reputation at school in tatters.
And saddest of all, their marriage is on the rocks. Once they were so close, but now are so distant. Is a second chance possible?
