دانلود کتاب Consider Yourself Kissed 2025

In Consider Yourself Kissed (2025), Australian copywriter Coralie Bower relocates to London at the age of 29 and unexpectedly finds herself rescuing a little girl from a duck pond in Victoria Park. That impulsive act leads to a meet-cute with Adam Whiteman, a witty political journalist and single father of the rescued child. Through playful banter and shared literary interests, they quickly form a deep bond, and Coralie becomes a part of Adam’s family—stepping into the roles of partner, stepmother, and homemaker almost overnight.

Spanning a decade (2013–2023), the novel chronicles their evolving relationship amid home renovations, career highs and lows, parenthood struggles, and the backdrop of seismic political events like Brexit and the COVID pandemic. As Adam’s career soars, Coralie wrestles with her creative ambitions, mounting domestic responsibilities, and a growing sense that she’s losing herself. With sharp emotional insight, Jessica Stanley paints a tender yet honest portrait of love’s endurance, the complexities of motherhood, and the tension between public events and private lives¹.
