An achingly funny story from the author of You Had Me At Hello. What's the one thing you DON'T do at a wedding? When Edie is caught in a compromising position at her colleagues' wedding, all the blame falls on her—turns out that personal popularity in the office is not that different from your schooldays. Shamed online and ostracised by everyone she knows, her boss suggests an extended sabbatical—ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new acting talent, Elliot Owen. Easy, right? Wrong. Banished back to her home town of Nottingham, Edie is not only dealing with a man who probably hasn't heard the word 'no' in a decade, but also suffering an excruciating regression to her teenage years as she moves back in with her widowed father and judgey, layabout sister. When Edie and Elliot must fake a relationship for the media, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur.
