One Thing Led to Another

One Thing Led to Another
Katy Regan

A smart, punchy, poignant and achingly funny debut based on Katy Regan’s hugely popular Marie Claire column And then there were three…sort of.Tess Jarvis’ rules for life have always been somewhatrelaxed…1.Never go to bed before your last guest has leftTess and Gina's flat has a jacuzzi so it's the obvious location for a party … every night2.Make great friends and keep them closeThough not actually in your bed. Tess and Jim’s claims that they are ‘just good friends’ has everyone’s eyes rolling.3.Look on the bright side of lifeAfter all it could be so much worse. Tess’s job interviewing the nation’s catastrophes proves this every day.4.Don’t wait for the weekend to wear your fancy knickersAlthough be warned, this can lead to all manner of messes…Tess has always been one to wing it but she’s fast realizing that her bank of blag is running out of funds. At 28, is it time to grow up? Maybe having a baby with your best friend isn't the best way to start…

Prologue (#ulink_731c6f70-2c29-5cbe-8015-c4731e119615)

Two minutes it says to wait, two minutes and bam! Your life changed forever. Imagine that. No God, on second thoughts, let’s not. Let’s just calm down, breathe deeply and concentrate. I take off my watch. It’s one of those underwater sports ones. Great for boiling eggs and ideal for timing how long my mother can monologue on the phone whilst I am doing something else.
