We know that we will die, yet we somehow manage not to think about it and we do this because it’s the only way to live; the only sensible choice is to believe naively that happiness is here, that this relationship is the right one and that we will all live happily ever after. It’s perhaps revealing that believe and naïve should rhyme so well...

Better Than Easy – the fourth volume in the bestselling 50 Reasons series – finds Mark about to embark on the project of a lifetime, the purchase of a hilltop gite in a remote French village with partner Tom. But with shady dealings making the purchase unexpectedly complex, Mark finds himself with time on his hands – time to consider not only if this is the right project but whether Tom is the right man. A chance meeting with a seductive Latino promises nirvana yet threatens to destroy every other relationship Mark holds dear, and as he navigates a seemingly endless ocean of untruths, Mark is forced to question whether any worthwhile destination remains.

Better Than Easy combines a tense tale of betrayal and a warming exploration of the mix of courage and naivety required if we are to choose love and happiness – if we are to continue to believe against seemingly impossible odds.

Better Than Easy can be read independantly or as volume four of the 50 Reasons Tetralogy comprising: 50 Reasons to Say Goodbye / Sottopassaggio / Good Thing, Bad Thing and Better Than Easy
