Being Committed

A fabulous new novel from the bestselling author of Behaving Like Adults. Hannah thinks you have to be absolutely nuts to want to get married. She s quite content with her life thank you very much -- her job as a private investigator for Hound Dog investigations, Jason, her boyfriend of ten years standing, and her relationship with her wonderful dad (pity her mum is such a disaster). Besides which, she s tried marriage once but she and Jack ended up divorced before she was 21: it was a bit much to ask a girl to stay faithful when she s scarcely out of her teens and the world of full of wonderful men. So when the long-suffering Jason proposes, Hannah doesn t think twice about turning him down. But would she have said no if she d known that only a month later Jason would be engaged to someone else? Is she really the emotional retard that Jason thinks she is? Maybe, just maybe, there s something in his theory that being committed means first coming to terms with your past. Brimming with the warmth, perception and understanding that characterizes Anna Maxted s writing, Being Committed mixes heartache with humour and is perhaps her finest novel yet.
