![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Predictably, within hours of meeting her paid companion, lusty Sophy finds herself attracted to him. Ever resourceful, a desperate Sophy hires Josh from a London escort service to play the part of Dominic and accompany her to her sister's wedding. But when younger and prettier sister Belinda decides to marry, Sophy is forced to produce her new bloke. Her fretting Mum believes that "an unattached daughter who's just hit thirty is a Serious Worry," so to keep her happy, Sophy fabricates a handsome, attentive, successful suitor named Dominic. Sophy, a charmingly sarcastic London recruiter on "the cutting edge of human-resource management," is in no rush to get hitched and only mildly disheartened when her long-standing boyfriend dumps her. Like Nick Hornby's About a Boy, it is predicated on a white lie that spirals out of control. ![]() Young's first novel is a silly and harmless yarn set in modern England concerning-guess what-the romantic tribulations of a self-deprecating 30-ish woman. ![]()
