Description
By the author of American Wife, a sharp and witty novel about a young woman's romantic fantasies colliding with the realities of adult life.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Rodham, American Wife, You Think It, I'll Say It and Help Yourself
A rigorous and wily stylist. She packs her pages with clever observations without appearing to be trying - NEW YORK TIMES
Grave, good-humoured, deeply engaging - GUARDIAN
Hannah is a confused fourteen-year-old. In the magazines she reads, celebrities plan elaborate weddings; in Hannah's own life, her parents' marriage is crumbling.
Over the next decade and a half, love throws her some complicated questions. At what point can you no longer blame your adult failures on your messed-up childhood? Is settling for someone who's not your soulmate an act of maturity or an admission of defeat? And if you move to another state for a guy who might not love you back, are you being plucky - or just pathetic?
