From the author of the mega bestseller Confessions of a Fortysomething F##k Up comes another laugh out loud novel full of wit, wisdom .. . and women who have had ENOUGH. It's a sun-kissed quest for justice fuelled by friendship, laughter and finding that inner steel. The perfect summer read for all those who enjoy Sophie Kinsella, Marian Keyes and Bella Mackie. So, I Met This Guy . . . Well, isn't that how every love story starts? But what we don't know is, how will it end? For Maggie, she certainly didn't expect it to involve discovering the supposed love-of-her-life stole her life-savings, along with her home, heart and self-esteem. So, when she meets Flick, a young reporter, who realises this story could be the big break she's been looking for, they set off together to catch him as he goes on the run across Europe. After all, she's got nothing left to lose, right? But as the pair embark on the road trip of their lives, unexpected twists, hidden secrets and hard truths are revealed. And as an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, they realise it's not just about finding the guy, it's about finding themselves.
