Today marks the launch of the latest release by Chasing Driftwood’s Chantelle Atkins.
The release of The Mess of Us comes almost ten years after the year of its gipping predecessor, The Mess of Me in 2016 and we couldn’t be more excited. If, like us, you were captivated by Lou and Joe’s journey in the first book, prepare yourself for another powerful instalment of their story.
Atkins has a unique talent for crafting complex, deeply human characters, and The Mess of Us is no exception. The story dives into the messy realities of love, trauma, forgiveness, and self-acceptance–the one responsible for Joe’s coma–being released from prison, their fragile world is thrown into turmoil once more.
Will they find it in their hearts to forgive?
Can people really change for the better?
And with an unplanned pregnancy and Lou’s past struggles threatening to resurface, will their love survive the coming storm?
As always, Atkins doesn’t shy away from life’s hardest questions, and The Mess of Us is a novel that will resonate with anyone who’s struggled with trust, self-worth, and second chances. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that pulls no punches but offers hope in the most unlikely of places.
