Book Synopsis

It shouldn't have been like this. Being on television was meant to lead to fame and a glamorous social life. But for Lizzie Partridge, forty-something, divorced and TV cook on Midlands This Morning, it meant dinners for one, coping alone with an air-head adolescent daughter and following middle-aged men into corner shops pretending she needed a bottle of Lea & Perrins.
Her good friend Louie - if only he wasn't gay - thought he knew what the trouble was: Lizzie was always on the wrong side of the glass, looking in at other people's lives.
True or not, things for Lizzie were going to get a lot worse before they got better...

'Comic social comment mixed with romantic comedy ... a gift for timing, an impeccable ear for dialogue and an eye for detail ... skilled and highly engaging' The Times. * The Times *
