So I Met This Guy... Well, isn’t that how every love story starts? But what we don’t know is...how will it end? For Maggie, she certainly didn’t expect it to involve discovering the supposed love-of-her-life has stolen her life-savings, along with her home, heart and self-esteem. So, when she meets Flick, a young reporter who realises this story could be the big break she’s been looking for, they set off together to catch this fraudster as he goes on the run across Europe. After all, she’s got nothing left to lose, right? But as the pair embark on the road trip of their lives, unexpected twists, hidden secrets and hard truths are revealed. And as an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, they realise it’s not just about finding the guy, it’s about finding themselves . . .
The Unfinished Business of Eadie Browne Eadie Browne is a quirky kid living in a small town where nothing much happens. Bullied at school, she muddles her way through with best friends Celeste and Josh until University takes them their separate ways. Arriving in Manchester as a student in the late 1980s, Eadie experiences a novel freedom and it's intoxicating. As the city embraces the dizzying euphoria of Rave counterculture, Eadie is swept along, ignoring danger and reality. Until, one night, her past comes hurtling at her with consequences she could never have imagined. Now, as the new millennium approaches, Eadie is thirty with a marriage in tatters, travelling back to the town of her birth for a funeral she can't quite comprehend. As she journeys from the North to the South, from the present to the past, Eadie contemplates all that was then and all that is now - in this moving love letter to youth, a time and a place.
