Five years after leaving university, Lizzie Jordan considers herself one of life’s failures.

Unlike her highflying friends, Lizzie works as a typist, shares a grotty flat and ‘makes do’ with an unexciting boyfriend.

But she has a secret love – Brian, a handsome American she dated at university, five years ago. In her emails she pretends her life is a whirl of extravagant parties and million-pound business deals.

Then one day, Brian announces he’s coming to stay! Lizzie’s secret life is about to be rumbled unless she comes up with a cunning plan. But even the most best-laid plans have a habit of going horribly wrong…

Praise for Chrissie Manby

Reviews

<i>Company</i> on FLATMATES
If you've ever shared a flat, been to a bad party or fallen in love with the wrong man, you'll find this book spot on
<i>OK!</i>
Manby's novels still shine out
Helen Lederer on DEEP HEAT
Cross your legs, boys: in the best tradition of Kathy Lette, this is girl power at its most painfully funny
<i>Daily Mail</i> on FLATMATES
A funny first novel that's more realistic than Friends, cleaner than The Young Ones and not as frightening as Shallow Grave.
