The Couple Upstairs by Holly Wainwright – the author of the bestselling I Give My Marriage A Year.

Mel turfed her husband out of their apartment five months ago. She is living alone quite happily with her
two young children, Eddie and Ava.

When a man, who reminds her of a past lover, moves in upstairs! The lover she has never been able to forget! The lover who changed her life, her mindset and, possibly, her sanity. A man from whom she has never been able to escape as he lingers in the recesses of her mind.

When the man upstairs becomes a couple, as his girlfriend joins him, Mel becomes infatuated with them
and the nature of their relationship.

But, Mel isn’t coping with both her job and her children, and when the young woman from upstairs offers
to help by looking after Eddie and Ava, Mel accepts. Their lives, however, become intertwined to such
an extent that the situation becomes perilous.

This is a novel that delves into the darker side of human nature, relationships, and where they lead. Is
Is there a way of preventing another person from making similar mistakes to those made by oneself in the
past?

AND, is intervention an option or should one leave well alone?

An exploration of the past leads to an attempt to change the future for others, who may not welcome
that interference!

The Couple Upstairs by Holly Wainwright is brilliantly written by this popular author. An intriguing read with the many twists and turns that love takes on its journey to answer the big question. Will it have a sad or happy ending?

ISBN: 9781760980061

The Couple Upstairs is available in paperback, e-book and audiobook.
