Meet the Londons, a family in need of a friend ...

Gerry and Bernie London are proud parents of Tony, Sean and Ned, three wayward lads whose lives have suddenly reached crisis points:

Newly divorced Tony is fantasizing about someone he really shouldn't; prize-winning novelist Sean's got a hot new girlfriend and a dose of writer's block; and Ned's just back from Australia, without the girl he took with him - or a clue what he's going to do with his life.

If that wasn't enough for one household, the Londons also have a new lodger - a mysterious rockabilly called Gervase. Will he turn out to be a friend - or foe - to the family?

Reviews

This book shows Jewell coming into her prime - both funny and emotionally satisfying Terrific stuff: touching, funny and sentient A heart-warming page-turner from start to finish . . . Quite possibly her best yet Jewell's readability and emotional intelligence make her the cream of pop fiction The perfect summer read Jewell's light style can be deceptive; her anatomisation of twenty and thirty-something urban relationships is at times uncomfortably keen . . . It's a lot of fun This novel will make you feel warm inside Praise for Lisa Jewell Addictively readable A joy . . . a fun summer read The best romantic comedy we've read in ages Tackles serious issues with humour - proving that chick-lit can be intelligent, interesting and huge fun A triumph Top marks. Fantastic Lovely Moving and intelligent Magnetic, unpretentious and bursting with one-liners Fans of chick-lit will understand when I say that this is a book you simply disappear into Expand reviews
