Synopsis

An early bestseller from the fabulous author of the Shopaholic series. Three women, smart and successful, working in the fast and furious world of magazines, meet for cocktails and gossip once a month.

Roxanne: glamorous, self-confident, with a secret lover -- and hoping that one day he will leave his wife and marry her.

Maggie: capable and high-achieving, until she finds the one thing she can't cope with -- motherhood.

Candice: honest, decent, or so she believes -- until a ghost from her past turns up and almost ruins her life.

A chance encounter in the cocktail bar sets in train an extraordinary set of events which upsets all their lives and almost destroys their friendship.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Wickham serves up a healthy dose of good-natured witticisms mixed with biting retorts." ―Publishers Weekly

Maggie: capable and high-achieving, until she finds the one thing she can't cope with―motherhood

Candice: honest, decent, or so she believes―until a ghost from her past turns up

At the first of every month, when the office has reached its pinnacle of hysteria, Maggie, Roxanne, and Candice meet at London's swankiest bar for an evening of cocktails and gossip. Here, they chat about what's new at The Londoner, the glossy fashion magazine where they all work, and everything else that's going on in their lives. Or almost everything. Beneath the girl talk and the laughter, each of the three has a secret. And when a chance encounter at the cocktail bar sets in motion an extraordinary chain of events, each one will find their biggest secret revealed...
