`This poignant novel about fathers and daughters is also a love letter to London... A moving, life-affirming debut.' Marie Claire

A single mother's life spirals out of control when her best friend mysteriously disappears in this chilling debut thriller. It begins with a simple favor: glamorous Emily asks Stephanie to pick up her son after school, and Stephanie happily agrees. Emily's seemingly perfect life—complete with a dazzling career and a picture-perfect family—leaves Stephanie, a lonely widow in their Connecticut suburb, feeling envious. As she seeks connection through her daily blog, the sudden disappearance of Emily sends shockwaves through her life. Concerned for Emily's grieving family, Stephanie becomes entangled with Sean, Emily's handsome British husband. However, she can't shake the feeling that he may not be telling her the whole truth about his wife's vanishing. As doubts creep in, Stephanie questions how well she truly knew her "best" friend. The story reveals that nothing—friendship, love, or even a simple favor—is as straightforward as it appears. This taut, unsettling narrative exposes the dark underbelly of female friendship, keeping readers captivated until the very last page.

Courtney Stone - sassy, smart and suddenly single - has always felt she might have been better suited to life in Jane Austen's England. She senses that she would have found soul mates in Emma and Elinor, and through good times and bad Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice have been her secret under-the-duvet pleasures. One evening, having drifted off to sleep after self-medicating with pizza, Absolut, and Elizabeth and Darcy, Courtney wakes up in nineteenth-century England, in the bed (not to mention the slim and svelte body) of a girl called Jane Mansfield. At first she thinks this has to be some sort of weird dream, but slowly she becomes used to the absence of toothpaste and fat-free food, and finds herself actually enjoying Jane's life. Perhaps she could do without her wicked new 'mother' who wants to marry Jane off as soon as possible to the nearest wealthy man ... although this may not be such a bad thing, as the nearest wealthy man just happens to be the very dishy Charles Edgeworth. But, in becoming Jane, Courtney has left some important unfinished business behind, and she soon realises that in order to return to the present day she needs not only to solve the riddle of Jane and Charles but to get to grips with her own twenty-first-century relationship phobias along the way.
