Claire Halford’s life hits rock bottom when she is caught stealing food from Tesco Express. Left alone by her husband with two small children and an STI, her suicide music is starting to play louder in her head.
A chance meeting brings them together. As a mystery virus from China starts to run riot across the country, their world’s collide and they find they have more in common than they knew.
Set in the early months of 2020, Maybe It’s About Time is a story about the difficulty of changing lives for the better. Starting as a funny and satirical view of the egocentric world of professional services, it gives way to a heart-warming story of an unlikely friendship that rejuvenates Marcus and Claire, giving them both hope for a better future.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
In Maybe It's About Time, Neil Boss introduces us to warm and utterly credible characters in circumstances his readers will relate to one way or another. The circumstances of the story and its comic observations especially in the detritus of corporate and modern life combined with the richness of the protagonists keep you turning the page until all too quickly it is finished. One is left wanting the next instalment in the life of Marcus Barlow whom you have come to know and most importantly like. Simply put this is one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read. If you are considering a perfect book for a relaxing holiday then this could well be it.
