Jojo Harvey is a dead ringer for Jessica Rabbit and the most ferocious literary agent in town. A former NYPD cop, she now lives in London making million-dollar book deals while trying to make partner at her firm . . . all the while sleeping with the boss man. Lily Wright is an author who believes in karma, and is waiting for the sky to fall after stealing her former best friend's man. Though her first book failed to sell, her life turns upside down when her most recent book becomes a huge bestseller. Gemma Hogan is an event designer extraordinaire, but her personal life is nonexistent after losing the love of her life and her best friend in one fell swoop. To make matters worse, her father has just left her mother. While taking care of her mother, she e-mails a close colleague about her frustrations, who in turn forwards the hilarious e-mails to a famous literary agent named Jojo Harvey, who just happens to represent her former friend, now enemy, Lily Wright. . . . Written in the charming and chatty voice that has become Marian Keyes's signature style, this hilarious and heartwarming novel proves there are three sides to every story . . . especially in the world of publishing!

Loved it. Bloody terrifying though!
This book was just what I needed after too much heavy reading the last couple of weeks. And I liked how it differed from usual chicklit in that it didn't center around a romance, though it was there. And I liked the different points of view used, switching from Lily to Gemma to Jojo.This was a fun r...
I was not expecting this book to be that good. I found instead that i was addicted to the three main characters' stories. This book is a typical girly novel, where the main characters are obsessed with their relationships. Gemma is pining over her ex and is oblivious to the fact that she would be be...
Several people recommended this to me when I asked for ideas of books to buy last month. Due to an amazing coincidence, I fell over it (almost literally) the very next day at the library and had to get it out. It's just as good as her other books. Nothing out of the ordinary, but very entertaining.
