New York GIVEAWAY – all you need for your next getaway

30th September 2018

We have a copy of The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen (set in New York) to give away – and it’s proving to be a popular read!

When you read this book, you will make many assumptions.

It’s about a jealous wife, obsessed with her replacement.

It’s about a younger woman set to marry the man she loves.

The first wife seems like a disaster; her replacement is the perfect woman.

You will assume you know the motives, the history, the anatomy of the relationships.

PLUS a Hayes and Jarvis journal, pen and emergency charger (everything you will need for your next getaway!)

New York GIVEAWAY

 

How to Enter:

Which Borough of New York City would you most like to visit and why?

  1. Manahattan
  2. Queens
  3. The Bronx
  4. Brooklyn
  5. Staten Island

Just let us know in the Comments below by midnight UK time on 13th October and the first name out of the hat will be sent the items. UK ONLY!

    Staten island!
    From what I have heard it sounds like a family fun filled place with the zoo, children’s museum and walks through the botanical gardens would definitely be a must!

    Staten Island for me. Natural parks, pretty beaches, & a quieter borough than the other four….easy to explore via the Staten Island Ferry.

    I’m lucky enough to have been to New York but wish I’d spent more time in Brooklyn. It had a really authentic feel about it (plus the views back across to Manhattan are amazing!)

    Staton Island – fascinated by the stories of the immigrants to came to NYC. My great, great uncle would have been one of these – but went down on the Titanic.

    I’ve never been to New York but would absolutely love to visit one day! I’d definitely plan a trip to Staten Island if I did visit NYC because I’ve heard it’s home to some great attractions and is a little off the usual tourist trail.
