So, I Met This Guy

LoveReading Says

From the author of the mega-bestseller Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up comes another laugh-out-loud novel filled with wit, wisdom and women who’ve simply had enough. This time we follow Maggie and Flick on a quest for justice powered by friendship, laughter and fierce strength.

On the surface it’s a fun, escapist romp. It’s full of adventure, humour and joy - but beneath it sits a timely and sobering message about the growing rise of romance fraud. The story captures the emotional fallout with real punch: anger, regret, heartbreak and loss sit alongside triumph, empowerment and ultimately justice.

Felicity “Flick” Lomax, a sharp young community reporter with a nose for a story and ambitions bigger than her small local paper, is desperate for her big break. Still grieving her mother’s death, she’s untethered and hungry to prove herself. When she meets Maggie Fletcher - who has fled Bath in an old caravan after being devastated by a romance scam - Flick recognises both a heartbreaking story and a woman fighting to rebuild her life.

Maggie’s raw confession says it all: he didn’t just steal her savings; he stole her trust, her home, her livelihood and her sense of self.

What follows is a moving and often hilarious exploration of resilience, female friendship and the power of reclaiming your voice. It’s sharp, warm and deeply human. It’s a novel that makes you laugh loudly while also reminding you how easily lives can unravel, and how strength can be rebuilt in the most unexpected places.

A joyful, twisty-turns, empowering read.
