"Jane is a twenty-something journalist who has the usual problems facing a woman: job stress, career angst, weight trouble, and an unfulfilling relationship with the man in her life." "Her best friend, Tally, wishes she had a boyfriend: a knight with a gold card, who could ride up and keep her beloved family estate from falling into the hands of greedy developers. Which is about as likely to happen as Jane embarking on a guilt-free, passionate affair with the sexy writer who lives upstairs.". "Instead, Jane has just been recruited for her magazine's latest circulation-boosting gimmick: ghostwriting the life and racy times of celebrity socialite Champagne D'Vyne. But following the grand diva of self-promotion across Europe and straight into tabloid hell can have its advantages. Especially if it leads to - cross your fingers - a new job, a new man, and just maybe, that long dreamed-of walk down the aisle."--BOOK JACKET.

"A poignant, romantic, and delightful new novel about a young woman who refuses to believe happy endings are real, from internationally bestselling author Harriet Evans. At twenty-two, Eleanor Bee is sure about three things: she wants to move to London and become a literary superstar, she wants to be able to afford to buy a coffee and croissant every morning, and she doesn't believe in happy endings. She saw what divorce did to her parents, especially her mum--happily ever after's fine on the last page of a book, but it just doesn't happen in real life. Elle moves to London. She gets a job at Bluebird Books, a charmingly old-fashioned publisher. She falls out of pubs, wears too-short skirts, makes lots of mistakes, and feels like she's learning nothing and everything at the same time. And then, out of the blue, she falls in love and realizes just how much growing up she has to do. Ten years later, Elle's life has changed in ways she could never have predicted, from moving to New York to becoming a highly successful editor. Because no matter where you go and how much you try to run away, the past has a funny way of catching up with you, and happy endings come in all shapes and sizes"-- "A poignant, romantic and delightful new novel from international favorite and bestseller Harriet Evans"--
