Product Description

Mia thinks of herself as a grown up. Her twenty-two-year-old sister, Clare, is once again in the death throes of an affair that was always doomed to failure. Mia now understands that relationships need work; that in an adult partnership, passion and spontaneity give way to something different but more lasting. With Pete she knows that her search for 'The One' can stop. Until, tripping over Pete's phone on the way to the loo one night, she reads a text message that sends her blood cold. Everything in it - its tone, the kisses at the end, Pete's evasions about the sender 'Liz' - is wrong, and suddenly the blinkers are off. It's time to get back in the game, and with everything to play for, Mia is about to discover a capacity for deceit she never knew she had. After all, when Happy Ever After is at stake, any weapon at your disposal is fair game - isn't it?

Excellent read
I have to admit, this is the only book i have ever read in one sitting, i started it at 6pm in the evening and did not stop reading until completion at 12.45 that night/morning, i could not put the book down, i loved it right from the very first paragraph.

I was completely drawn in to the world of the main character, i felt all that she felt when reading it, it was brilliant, and i liked the fact it wasn't just a typical chick novel, it is a little bit different.

It is the kind of book you are dying to discuss with others on finishing, i have already recommended it to my friends and urged them to read it also.

When's the next one out?
Not a great lover of chick lit, this hooked me from the start. It's a world away from the usual stuff aimed at women. You could describe this as a pyschological thriller, I found great difficulty in putting it down and thoroughly recommend it - great holiday book.

A great debut. I can't wait for more!
This was a thoroughly gripping read and differed greatly from the usual boy meets girl formula. It had lots of twists and I could really empathise with Mia's character due to Dawson's portrayal of her. I'm really looking forward to more novels form Lucy Dawson and know that this is a great start to a promising and fruitful writing career for her.
