The unputdownable, brilliant new novel from the Queen of Romcom.
Bel's joined the tiny Manchester office of a national paper from her indie podcast. Thirty-something Connor is going back to the start as the new intern.
The latest office news? They can’t stand each other.

Two rivals. One fake romance. The headline writes itself…

About the Author
Sunday Times bestselling author Mhairi McFarlane was born in Scotland in 1976 and her unnecessarily confusing name is pronounced Vah-Ree. After some efforts at journalism, she started writing fiction and her debut, You Had Me at Hello, was an instant success. She’s since sold over 2 million copies of her books. She lives in Nottingham with a man and, sadly for the time being, no cat.
