Book Description

August 16, 2001
Just graduated from drama school, Lizzie Jordan is looking forward to a glittering career at the RSC. She's also looking forward to becoming Mrs Richard Adams (Lizzie just knows that her live-in artist boyfriend is about to propose any day now). So how come, just one month later, Lizzie finds herself sharing a cockroach-infested house in Venice Beach, working as a waitress in a notorious transvestite bar, and pretending to be the fiancee of one of the hottest directors in Hollywood; a man who just happens to be gay? Why does life never seem to work out the way Lizzie Jordan planned?

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Very funny, hugely feel-good, and the perfect antidote for anyone who worries that the only career ladder they've achieved is a run in their tights' Fiona Walker on LIZZIE JORDAN 'She answers the prayers of all those suffering from post-THIS LIFE disorder' GQ Hilarious city girl comedy with a message about facing up to who you are' Cosmopolitan on LIZZIE JORDAN 'A shagadelic giggle with a good twist in its tale' Ms London on DEEP HEAT 'With a marriage of comic invention and some clear-sighted emotional honesty, this novel can move as well as amuse' Good Book Guide on LIZZIE JORDAN. 'A fun romp - perfect holiday reading' -- Woman's Way - Dublin
