About this listen
The unputdownable, brilliant new novel from the Queen of Romcom.
Bel’s joined the Manchester office of a big national paper from her award-winning podcast. There are three of them– Bel, her relentlessly ambitious colleague Aaron, and a new intern. And when the intern turns out to be a thirty-something man called Connor, he and Bel get off on totally the wrong foot. She’s patronising, he’s hostile: it’s office war.
Then Bel gets a sniff at a really big story, Connor gets caught in the crossfire, and before they know it, they have to convince everyone they’re a couple – and a couple in love. If they mess up, the biggest story Bel will ever land will disappear, along with justice for its sources.
But as time goes on, who’s double crossing whom – and which feelings are real?

Critic reviews
‘She’s so ridiculously talented … consider this recommendation my personal gift to you and your life’ EMILY HENRY
'Flawed and relatable, their dialogue whipsmart…Read this for the famous hero trope, but also for the grounded reality and beautiful narrative voice. McFarlane never misses' GILLIAN MCALLISTER, SCOTTISH DAILY MAIL
'14/10 on the QWJ scale (queasy with jealousy scale). I WISH I'd written it. I loved this book so much' MARIAN KEYES
‘Everything you want from a rom com and satisfyingly knotty with proper, recognisable characters. She just gets better and better’ JOJO MOYES
'Smart, sensitive, extremely funny and always so, so spot on…a joy' LINDSEY KELK
‘No one writes such wry, emotionally complex romantic fiction as Mhairi McFarlane’ RED
