What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin
Meet the Londons, a family in need of a friend ...
Gerry and Bernie London are proud parents of Tony, Sean and Ned, three wayward lads whose lives have suddenly reached crisis points:
Newly divorced Tony is fantasizing about someone he really shouldn't; prize-winning novelist Sean's got a hot new girlfriend and a dose of writer's block; and Ned's just back from Australia, without the girl he took with him - or a clue what he's going to do with his life.
If that wasn't enough for one household, the Londons also have a new lodger - a mysterious rockabilly called Gervase. Will he turn out to be a friend - or foe - to the family?

Critics Review
-
This book shows Jewell coming into her prime – both funny and emotionally satisfying
The Times -
Terrific stuff: touching, funny and sentient
Sunday Times -
A heart-warming page-turner from start to finish . . . Quite possibly her best yet
Heat -
Jewell’s readability and emotional intelligence make her the cream of pop fiction
Glamour -
The perfect summer read
Marie Claire -
Jewell’s light style can be deceptive; her anatomisation of twenty and thirty-something urban relationships is at times uncomfortably keen . . . It’s a lot of fun
