Book Information
What if Emma isn’t the person she thought she was?
Her younger son has just been diagnosed with autism.
She’s accidentally quit her job.
The marriage she was dedicated to suddenly seems like a sham.
She’s pretty sure that she is going to have an affair with a hot new dad at the school.
The only thing that stays the same is everyone else. Emma realises it’s not them – it’s her. But if she’s not who she thought she was, can her old life fit in with the new Emma?
Compassionate, funny and poignant, Another Us is perfect for fans of Marian Keyes and Fiona Gibson.

My Review
5☆ A Heart Warming, Uplifting, Witty, Must Read!
When I read the blurb to Another Us I couldn't wait to read it. I have worked with children with Autism and Asperger's and it's really close to my heart.
I absolutely adored the witty yet poignant writing style of Hesketh, she captured the
highs and lows, the prejudice disabled people and their families face, it was beautifully written and heart warming.
Emma and Daniel want the absolute best for ten year old Jack. Jack has Asperger's and he views the world around him differently. Which others don't always want to appreciate or understand!
When Emma gets invited to a school meeting for Parents of Children with needs, she never imagined meeting other parents who face the same hurdles she does.
Leading the group is Queen Bea Virginia
who personally I didn't particularly like very much. But I did really like Mandy she was way more supportive and understanding with Emma and Paul!
Then there is Paul who also has just joined the group, he's Son Gabe is yet to be diagnosed but is sure he has Asperger's too. His Partner Hanna refuses to accept that Gabe has different needs.
Paul and Emma hit it off straight away.
With Daniel becoming more and more distant, Paul is there with a supportive ear... or maybe more!
I loved the characters so much, they were wonderfully developed, relatable, endearing, realistic, and relevant.
Hesketh opened up and gave the reader a glimmer of what it was like for a young family of five living with Jack's Asperger's, their every day life not just as a family unit but as individuals and the pressures and strains.
Another Us is such a heart warming, uplifting, witty, poignant story that melted my heart, had me giggling out loud at some of the Antics ( the Fondue Fire 🙈) and left me smiling.
Would I recommend reading Another Us?......Without A Doubt.....100% Yes!!
