« Un savant mélange d'humour et de romance. Brillant et drôle! » Sunday Mirror Lorsque, suite à un énorme malentendu, Edie est surprise en train d'embrasser le marié lors du mariage d'un de ses collègues, elle se laisse condamner sans réagir, incapable de se défendre. Aussitôt mise à l'écart au bureau et par tous ses contacts sur les réseaux sociaux, elle finit par accepter la proposition de son patron : quitter Londres pour la ville de son enfance, Nottingham, afin d'y suivre un acteur en vogue dont elle doit écrire la biographie.
Sauf que, faute de moyens, elle doit s'installer chez son père et cohabiter avec sa soeur excentrique et définitivement insupportable. Comme si ce n'était pas suffisant, la première rencontre avec Elliot Owen, le fameux acteur, est catastrophique. Quand le destin s'acharne à ce point, il ne reste plus que deux possibilités : subir ou réagir. Alors, Edie laissera-t-elle les autres décider à sa place ou bien choisira-t-elle de leur prouver à tous, ainsi qu'à elle-même, qu'elle n'est pas celle qu'ils croient ?

Avec cette comédie romantique pétillante, à la fois drôle et pleine d'émotion, Mhairi McFarlane nous offre un nouvel exemple éclatant de son talent.

En théorie, on n'oublie jamais son premier amour... En théorie.

« J'aime ton rire. » Voilà ce qu'a écrit Lucas McCarthy à Georgina il y a douze ans. Un petit mot griffonné et jamais oublié depuis lycée. Ce qu'elle aimerait oublier, là, tout de suite, c'est quels genres d'évènements lui sont tombés dessus  : virée, larguée, bref une sacrée poisse. Alors quand elle découvre que son nouveau chef n'est autre que Lucas, elle recommence à croire en sa chance.

Le seul problème ? Lucas ne se souvient pas du tout de qui elle est. Pas. Du. tout.

She found The One. But when everyone wants him, can she keep him?







Edie found true love. And on Christmas day, he''s knocking at her door.
Elliot Owen is handsome, charming and basically Hollywood royalty. And, he insists, madly in love with Edie Thompson: an ordinary citizen with Pret tomato soup stains on her coat. It''s going to be complicated. Edie will have to learn how to live in the limelight, but they''re just too good together not to try.
Edie discovers it''s not easy when the press is the third person in your relationship, or when stories start leaking that force you to mistrust the motives of those around you. It''s tricky when you''re separated by an ocean and gorgeous co-stars and charismatic new colleagues are closer by. It''s harder still when your past is raked up by envious people determined to destroy your present.
Edie already knows how it feels to be infamous, now she''s going to find out what it''s like to be famous.
Are she and Elliot a fairytale, or a cautionary fable about getting what you wish for?
