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

Book Synopsis

National Bestseller

Two women, one con man, and a European adventure fueled by friendship, heartbreak, and having nothing left to lose, from mega-bestselling UK author Alexandra Potter.

Maggie thinks she's finally found the love of her life. Theo is charming, passionate, and crazy about her. So when Theo mysteriously disappears, Maggie certainly doesn't expect that he's gone for good--let alone stolen her life savings, heart, and self-esteem.

Now she's 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.

The pair embark on the road trip of their lives--from the glitz and glamour of Monte Carlo to the souks of Tangier--where unexpected twists, hidden secrets, and hard truths are revealed. And, as an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, they realize it's not just about finding the guy, it's about finding themselves.
