So, I Met This Guy - by Alexandra Potter (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

When fortysomething gallery owner Maggie is conned by the man she thought was the love of her life, she teams up with Flick, an ambitious young reporter, to chase him across Europe's sun-kissed Mediterranean coast on a mission-turned adventure that becomes less about finding the romance fraudster, and more about finding themselves.

A smart, fun, and topic-timely novel from mega-bestselling UK author Alexandra Potter.

Theo is charming, passionate, and crazy about Maggie, who thinks she has finally found the love of her life. But soon Maggie discovers that he has stolen her life savings, along with her home, heart, and self-esteem. Now, she finds herself living in a caravan in a muddy field in the middle of nowhere, left to pick up the pieces. When junior reporter Flick catches wind of the story, she decides that exposing the romance fraudster may be just the career break she needs.

But as the pair embark on the road trip of their lives- a journey that takes them from the glitz and glamour of Monte Carlo to the souks of Tangier-unexpected twists, hidden secrets, and hard truths are revealed. And as an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, they discover that in life, it's not just about finding the guy, it's about finding themselves.
