Riassunto

Five years after leaving university, Lizzie Jordan considers herself one of life's failures. Unlike her highflying friends, Lizzie works as a lowly typist, shares a grotty flat and 'makes do' with her accountant boyfriend. She's never really been able to get over Brian, the handsome American student she dated at university, who is now a hugely successful Wall Street banker. Lizzie still corresponds with Brian by email. But the life she describes to him, with its extravagant parties and million-pound business deals, bears little relation to reality. Lizzie is overjoyed when Brian announces he's coming to stay. But how can she conceal from him the fact that the glamorous lifestyle she's been describing to him all these years is based on a tissue of lies? Ever resourceful, Lizzie comes up with a cunning plan. But the best-laid plans have a habit of going horribly wrong.

Recensione:

Very funny, hugely feel-good, and the perfect antidote for anyone who worries that the only career ladder they've achieved is a run in their tights (Fiona Walker on LIZZIE JORDAN'S SECRET LIFE)

Manby's novels still shine out (OK!)

Cross your legs, boys: in the best tradition of Kathy Lette, this is girl power at its most painfully funny (Helen Lederer on DEEP HEAT)

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 (Company on FLATMATES)

A funny first novel that's more realistic than Friends, cleaner than The Young Ones and not as frightening as Shallow Grave. (Daily Mail on FLATMATES)
