"This glam and fictional exposé of the lives of WAGS is a rollicking read." NW

In the glossy world of footballers' WAGS, love is the toughest game of all. Jean Bennett, an aspiring jewellery designer, knows as much about football as she does astrophysics. But when she moves to the bright lights of Sydney and falls in love with star footballer Josh Fox, she has to learn—fast.

Thrown eyelashes first into the world of WAGs, Jean is way out of her league. She navigates her way through semi-finals, a gruelling social calendar, and salacious scandals on Josh's arm, safe in the knowledge he belongs to her—or so she thinks. But as her hair gets blonder, her heels higher, and her tops lower, Jean begins to wonder who she's become.

Zoë Foster Blake tells an engaging and fun contemporary tale with her fabulously wry wit." New Idea

About the Author

ZoU Foster Blake enjoys writing her biography because she can write things like, 'The literary world was shocked when Foster Blake was controversially awarded the Man Booker prize for the third time', despite the fact that this is patently untrue. Things that are true include a decade of journalism writing for titles such as Cosmopolitan, Harper's BAZAAR and Sunday Style, as well as being the founder of all-natural Australian skin care line, Go-To. ZoU has written four novels, Air Kisses, Playing the Field, The Younger Man and The Wrong Girl; a dating and relationship book, Textbook Romance, written in conjunction with Hamish Blake; and Amazinger Face, a collection of her best beauty tips and tricks. She lives in Springfield with her husband, Homer, and her three children, Maggie, Lisa and Bart.
