'A fresh, funny new voice. Ella Griffin can make you laugh and then
cry in the turn of a page' MARIAN KEYES Life is looking up for
Saffy. She has a great job, a gorgeous flat in the most desirable
part of Dublin and - after six years - it looks like her boyfriend,
Greg, is going to propose. Greg (just voted the 9th most eligible
man in Ireland) is on a high, too - he's about to swap his part as
a heart-throb in an Irish soap for a break in Hollywood. His best
mate Conor wakes up every morning with Jess, the most beautiful
woman on the planet but, even after seven years and two kids, she
won't marry him. He spends his days teaching teenagers and his
nights writing the book he hopes will change everything, including
Jess's mind. But their happy endings are playing hard to get. It
seems everyone's keeping secrets - one night stands, heartbreak,
grief and loss are all in the mix. It's going to take some tough
questions and even tougher answers before anyone's being honest -
even with themselves.
