Synopsis

The Miller Shanks Christmas party is going to be the best and most impressive ever – or at least, that’s the plan. It certainly turns out to be unforgettable...

Once again told entirely in a series of e-mails, the further adventures of the characters from e take them into the run-up to Christmas. Harriet’s determined to make her first party as MD mega-memorable, but even her much-tested imagination can’t predict what actually happens.

Meanwhile, Pinki wants to change the world by introducing Real Women Barbies and Simon has resurfaced to write a novel – which is rejected by a publishing director known to many of us...
