About this listen

Twenty-six-year-old Rose Devlin may shop in the plus-size department, but she's never had a problem attracting men - with disastrous consequences. Recovering from her latest mistake, Rose has sworn off casual sex and moved to California to grow up, help her best friend, and make something of herself.

When Rose asks the cute-but-geeky guy next door to help her land a job in high tech, she never expects to unearth his quiet strength, stunning accomplishments - and hidden talents. With a secret in her own past, Rose tries to keep her distance, but she finds that nerdy Mark isn't so nerdy when the lights go out.

And that maybe, just maybe, she's not too grown up to risk one more disaster...

Galway is one of new favourite authors - the characters are real, as are their problems and insecurities.
This novel is no different - it was hard not to like the characters or feel part of their struggles. The fact that life often interferes with our plans was once again clear this Christmas - homeless and without any clothes or shoes? And to have your best friend lie to you? Even if it is for your own good.
The story was full of surprises all the way to the end.
The narration was great.

Lies and betrayal and loyalty and friendship
