'This is the best chick-lit book I have read and I have read many.' - Sunday Star Times

Meet three thirty-somethings whose lives have swerved way off the beaten track…

Jools has an addiction to married men, usually her boss, which always ends in disaster. Before she can come to terms with being unemployed (yet again), she finds herself up the duff, father unknown. Is it her charming, arrogant and married ex-boss? Or is it the man-child she met one drunken night at the Irish pub. If only she could remember his name…

Sally is married to Vincent, a self-absorbed televangelist, obsessed with his TV show and beauty treatments. She spends her days working, ferrying her three children around and listening to her husband preach. How could her hopes and dreams have been so unimportant she waved them goodbye without a second thought?

Kat has the perfect life all mapped out: the perfect job, the perfect husband, the perfectly renovated home and the soon-to-come perfect children. But when her suspicions that her husband is having an affair are proved to be correct, she suddenly finds herself single with a handbag full of broken dreams.

Can they find their way back to the dreams of their youth – or is it time to accept life’s lemons and start making lemonade?

Samantha Steel is 33 and blissfully happy. She’s about to be made a partner in one of the country’s leading advertising agencies, she has no messy emotional ties or relationship hang-ups, plenty of money, clothes, good parties – and designer dresses and décor to die for.

Perfection. Until a highly enjoyable one-night stand goes horribly pear-shaped and she accidentally bonks someone famous. The bonking wasn’t accidental – it was the guy being about as famous as it gets that was her big mistake.

Suddenly she’s a notorious scarlet woman and her heavenly life has transformed into paparazzi hell. Making a break for obscurity Sam disappears into the depths of the deepest darkest countryside, miles from the nearest latte, and finds her life taking some very unexpected turns…

Helen McGregor may be twenty-nine but she’s nowhere near ready for thirty. She’s single, her job at the local newspaper is driving her crazy and worst of all, luck just doesn’t seem to be on her side. She’s unlucky in love, unlucky with dogs and incredibly unlucky in outdoor pursuits.

Struggling from one hilarious episode to the next, she deals with life the way she sees best: she drinks, she swears profusely, and she goes out on the town with her best friend Sara. Along the way she manages to maim her stepmothers prized poodle, falls off a gin palace into the Pacific Ocean, dates a serial farter and appears in an extremely embarrassing episode of a prime-time television show.
