Bad Boy - Softcover
Fast and funny and romantic – a charming and sophisticated comedy for fans of Friends and Sex in the City by the inimitable author of The First Wives Club and Young Wives.
Jon and Tracy, two friends in their twenties, meet regularly at a hip late night cafe in Downtown Seattle to discuss their problems over a cup of mochaccino. Jon is Mr Very Nice Guy – he can’t understand why he can’t attract a girlfriend. Tracy, on the other hand, is never short of a man, but they seem to treat her so casually – for example, her present guy, Phil, plays guitar in a band, and comes back to the apartment in the middle of the night expecting her to get up and produce supper. Jon will only pull the girls, Tracy explains, when he learns to be a Bad Boy, too, and she undertakes to effect the transformation.
The results are astonishing. A trendy haircut, cool new clothes and endless lectures on behaviour later, and Jon’s nerdy friends and Tracy’s man-hungry female colleagues are hot with jealousy (in the case of the former) and desire (in the case of the latter.) But stories like this one always have a nasty twist in the tale – and this one is no exception...

Review:
‘Lisa Jewell with knobs on‘ The Mirror
‘a sparkling page-turner which is alternately amusing and touching, and always entertaining’ Hello
‘wickedly funny’ Real magazine
‘Think My Fair Lady with coffee bars’ Company
Praise for Bestseller:
‘Goldsmith hands out her characters’ rewards and comeuppances like Jane Austen dealing blackjack... You keep licking your fingers and reaching for the next page as if it were another poato chip’
Newsweek
Praise for The Switch:
‘Fizzing with acerbic dialogue and high-level sexual slapstick, this is a very funny romantic comedy, offering plenty of catharsis for women at both ends of the marital spectrum, and very little comfort for the husbands in between’
Good Housekeeping
