But her Dad soon starts to display signs of Alzheimer’s, and Iris realises that if she loses her partner, she’ll be managing an awful lot on her own. Soon, she realises that Adam wasn’t the only one taking their marriage for granted, and for the sake of the children she decides to give him one more chance.

Review
I Give It A Year is one of the first books we’ve read in 2021, full of emotion, and realistically charting the situations and dilemmas that many people face in their lives; Helen Whitaker has created a powerful, thought-provoking book to start the year.
Cleverly written, this page-turning novel has so many twists and turns that it ensures that the reader will not know the outcome until the very last page. An engrossing weekend read!
