About this ebook
A turbulent black comedy about love, loneliness and how we shape our future.
Lucy thinks she's finally cracked the love thing. Joe, her handsome American boyfriend, is moving to London. So how come he seems to be heading for the emergency exit? Lucy's best friend Scarlet is on an endless carousel of losers, users and married men. Her dad just thinks we're all better off flying solo.
But when a mysterious New Zealander arrives in their midst and starts showing an unhealthy interest in Lucy, it seems that everyone's baggage is finally coming out on display...
