The Juggle: The Next Chapter Collection

A marriage under the spotlight, told from both sides: she steps into the job he just lost, and neither of them is ready for what that changes. Uplifting British women's fiction about identity, resentment and second chances, with warmth and wit in equal measure.

She's always held things together. Now everything's falling apart--on air and at home.
He's built his life around success. But what's left when the spotlight disappears?

Molly Whitehead is a part-time producer, part-time mum, and full-time expert at keeping the peace. While her husband Dan commands the camera and soaks up the spotlight, Molly keeps the chaos at home running--quietly, invisibly. But when Dan melts down live on television, their whole world tilts, and the spotlight turns on her.

With Dan suspended and their mortgage on the line, Molly is pushed into a role she never wanted: fronting the show he just lost--plus a few too many self-help podcasts whispering advice she's not ready to hear.

Meanwhile, Dan is spiraling. Drowning in debt and self-doubt, he watches his wife succeed in the very role he thought made him special. As guilt and jealousy take hold, he'll have to confront the truth he's been hiding--from her, and from himself.

As tension rises and buried resentments surface, Molly and Dan must decide whether to protect the life they've built--or fight for something more honest, more lasting, and far messier than they imagined.The Juggle is the second standalone novel in The Next Chapter Collection, an honest, heartfelt story of marriage, identity, and finding joy in unexpected places, and a celebration of second chances and the chaos that sometimes brings us home.
