as I forced myself to wee on the absorbent end of the pregnancy test, trying desperately not to sprinkle on the plastic handle and all-important window.

I flushed and washed my hands as normal before joining Max on the landing to find out the result together, nervous bubbles popping in my stomach.

“Ready?” I asked, my whole body trembling.

“Ready,” he confirmed.

I turned the test over in my hand, gasping as I read the one word that stared back at us – pregnant.

Max threw his arms around me as I stood, dazed.

This was it. A fresh start. A new beginning.

To be continued…

Sophie Drew will return

Without further ado I’d like to thank:

Everyone at Bloodhound Books for believing in Sophie’s story, with special thanks to Betsy Reavley, Tara Lyons and Morgen Bailey for your input.

Julia Silk – this book wouldn’t exist without you.

Philippa Ashley, Mary Jayne Baker, Brigid Coady, Miranda Dickinson, Josie Silver, Lynsey James, Keris Stainton, and all the Wordcount Warriors, A***-Kickers and Beta Buddies for your continued support and friendship.

Nicola, Jade and Caroline for answering my questions about Newcastle.

My friends and family, who’ve put up with me talking about this book for the past four years and haven’t disowned me (yet).

And last, but by no means least, thank you for choosing to read Nothing New for Sophie Drew. It really does mean the world to me.
