A Net-a-Porter Magazine Top 10 Beach Read; ‘bold, witty and highly contemporary … A madcap romantic comedy for our multicutural age' (Woman & Home)

As they swim, drink and talk by the glittering Italian Riviera, Huda and Yvone ponder just how complicated it is to be free – and the eternal mysteries of love, sex, and getting a guy to call you back. Then, amid the glitz and chatter of London’s Mayfair, a chance encounter brings their past rushing back. But Huda has a wicked trick her sleeve…
