Description

'An assured, confident debut that kept me turning pages to find out what would happen - truly wonderful storytelling' ANDREA MARA

You've got everything she ever wanted...

At school, Darcy Starr was the girl everyone wanted to be – effortlessly beautiful, confident and most importantly, popular.

Two decades later, she still appears to have the perfect life: a devoted husband, a beautiful daughter and a picture-perfect suburban home, until her old school friend Alex Rigby reappears. Newly divorced, post-glow-up and harbouring a mysterious vendetta, Alex is about to turn Darcy's world upside down.

On a group holiday to celebrate a friend's wedding, secrets, lies and old rivalries bubble to the surface, threatening to change everything Darcy thought she knew about her past... and herself.

About the Author

Emma Robertson grew up in Aldershot, Hampshire and has lived in London for the last 20 years. She and her husband like to travel as much as possible, with a particular interest in no-fly travel. Emma teaches dance choreography, which gives her a fascinating insight into relationships as she works with couples in the lead up to their big day. She is endlessly nostalgic about the 1990s, which was a big inspiration for her debut novel, A Girl's Girl.
