MEET ELLIE HASKELL
Our heroine is a rather fabulous interior designer (if she says so herself), living in the top flat of a tumbledown Victorian house in leafy London with her snooty cat, Tobias Feline. She has some dear friends (who more than make up for her ghastly family) and her only desires in life are to lose a few pounds and meet an eligible — and nice! — man. How hard could that be?
