Lizzie Jordan’s Secret Life

Lizzie Jordan considers herself one of life’s failures. Unlike her high-flying friends, Lizzie works as a typist, shares a grubby flat and ‘makes do’ with her accountant boyfriend. But she has a secret love — Brian, a handsome American that she dated at university, five years ago. In her emails she pretends her life is a whirl of extravagant parties and million-pound business deals.

Then Brian announces he’s coming to stay! Lizzie’s secret life is about to be rumbled unless she comes up with a cunning plan . . .

Getting Personal

Ruby, Martin and Lou are three old friends who have spent too much time talking about the ones that got away. Facing another summer without love, they decide to approach the dating dilemma in the way they approached finding flatmates. They’re going to place personal ads. For one another. The perfect solution? Or, more likely, a sure fire route to disaster . . .
