"Greg won't need to dress up, then," said Jane.

Jane is understandably jealous of darling Greg, who is a gentleman among boyfriends.'

Meet Lucy Gordon, the sweet, scatty, irresistible heroine of Fiona Walker's delicious new novel. Lucy lives in a Berkshire village with her two friends, Jane and Bella, and works in the marketing department of Widgetex Computers. Her boss - Slave Driver - is a constant bane; her family are lovable eccentrics; her boyfriend, the dishy but fickle Greg, takes shameless advantage of her (Lucy is too good hearted to notice). Throughout two action-packed, fun-filled, disaster-strewn years, Lucy charts an erratic course among this motley crew to her very own happy ending.

Fiona Walker, whose novels have beenSunday Timesbestsellers, leads the field as the voice of young, media-aware women. She lives in Somerset with her partner and two children plus an assortment of horses and dogs.

Scatty and very funny. This is a hilarious book which will appeal to anyone who regularly misjudges their love life. Great holiday reading.
