Synopsis

Mr Maybe is the hilarious romance from star author Jane Green.

At twenty-seven, Libby thinks there's a lot to be said for a rich husband. So when Nick comes along - lovely, funny, handsome Nick, who has no money whatsoever, lives in a grotty bedsit and thinks the perfect night out consists of the pub and his mates - she decides he's only good for a fling. No strings attached.

Following the success of Straight Talking and Jemima J, in Mr Maybe is Jane Green's third novel with her usual brilliance at writing about love and life.

Investment banker Ed, on the other hand, could possibly be the answer. His house in Regent's Park makes up for his hideous moustache and she can probably overlook his irritating habits, and anyway, he's crazy about her. But does Libby really know what she needs? Is she just in love with being loved? Or is she loving the lifestyle, rather than the man?

Praise for Jane Green:
'[Jane Green] is amazing with a capital A' Heat

'A righteously hilarious read' Glamour

Jane Green is a former journalist who gave up her job on the Daily Express to write a real woman's account of being single in the city. That account became Jane's first novel, Straight Talking. A huge success, Straight Talking was followed by eleven more bestselling novels: Jemima J, Mr Maybe, Bookends, Babyville, Spellbound, The Other Woman, Life Swap, Second Chance, The Beach House, Girl Friday and The Love Verb. Jane lives in Connecticut with her husband and their blended family of six children.

From the Back Cover:

No strings attached . . .

At twenty-seven, Libby thinks there's a lot to be said for a rich husband. So when Nick comes along - lovely, funny, handsome Nick, who has no money whatsoever, lives in a seedy North London flat and thinks the perfect night out consists of the pub and a few pints - she decides he's only good for a fling.

. . . or a rock on her finger

On the other hand, there's investment banker Ed. His Regent's Park house just about makes up for his hideous moustache. Sure, he's irritating, but he's crazy about her . . .

Libby's left with one or two big life choices: does she want happiness or security? Commitment or true love? Should she follow her head or her heart?
