With the same wicked humor and delicious charm that have won her millions of devoted fans, Sophie Kinsella, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Shopaholic & Baby, returns with an irresistible new novel and a fresh new heroine who finds herself in a life-changing and utterly hilarious predicament….

Sixteen-year-old Susan Smithson – pretty but poor, clever but capricious – has just been expelled from school. At the mansion of Lady Catherine de Bourgh, she attracts a young nobleman. But, at the first hint of scandal, her guardian dispatches her to Kent, where her cousin Alicia lives. Here Susan mischievously inspires the local squire to put on a play. What with the arrival of Frank Churchill, Alicia’s falling in love and a tumultuous elopement, Kent will surely never seem safe again…

Dressed by St. Laurent and Galanos, they dine at the latest restaurants on the rise and fall of one another’s fortunes. They’re sensuous and jaded, corrupt and beautiful. They’re Hollywood wives, and they hold the keys to the kingdom.

Sometimes the right person enters your life at exactly the wrong time…

When Lila Moore inherits her grandfather’s house, she finds herself in a small Midwestern town where margarine is never an acceptable substitution for butter, a coveted family recipe can serve as currency, and the friend who will take your darkest secrets to the grave will still never give you the secret to her prize-winning begonias.
