Synopsis
Georgy is young, gregarious and fun - she is also large, self-confessedly ugly and desperate for love. Georgy bears her fate bravely as she alternates between playing the fool and humbling herself before Meredith, her pretty, callous flatmate, although when James, middle-aged socialite and self-imposed 'Uncle', asks Georgy to become his mistress, she is tempted to accept.

About the Author
Born in Carlisle, Margaret Forster was the author of many successful and acclaimed novels, including Have the Men Had Enough?, Lady's Maid, Diary of an Ordinary Woman, Is There Anything You Want? , Keeping the World Away, Over and The Unknown Bridesmaid. She also wrote bestselling memoirs - Hidden Lives, Precious Lives and, most recently, My Life in Houses - and biographies. She was married to writer and journalist Hunter Davies and lived in London and the Lake District. She died in February 2016, just before her last novel, How to Measure a Cow, was published.
Review
"The book moves along at a funny, extremely enjoyable speed in step with Georgy's restless energy, sometimes verging on the farcical, and always contained just this side of pathos" * The Times * "Forster is remarkably honest, skilful and perceptive" * Observer * "Forster has that rare ability to step into another's shoes" * Company *

Georgy was the type of girl you seldom see in movies. 21+ and still a virgin; an "ugly duckling" who men generally overlooked. She had almost given up hope. She watched, bedazzled as her beautiful roommate got first pregnant, then married. Then the new husband decided that he preferred Georgy to his wife! While she was still trying to sort this out, she met James, who certainly wanted her. Trouble was, he was old enough to be her father, and already married. Whats girl to do? Read the book.
