About this Event

About the book:

Two women, one con man, and a European adventure fueled by friendship, heartbreak, and having nothing left to lose, from mega-bestselling UK author Alexandra Potter.

Maggie thinks she’s finally found the love of her life. Theo is charming, passionate, and crazy about her. So when Theo mysteriously disappears, Maggie certainly doesn’t expect that he’s gone for good—let alone stolen her life savings, heart, and self-esteem.

Now she’s living in a caravan in a muddy field in the middle of nowhere, left to pick up the pieces. When junior reporter Flick catches wind of the story, she decides that exposing the romance fraudster may be just the career break she needs.

The pair embark on the road trip of their lives—from the glitz and glamour of Monte Carlo to the souks of Tangier—where unexpected twists, hidden secrets, and hard truths are revealed. And, as an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, they realize it’s not just about finding the guy, it’s about finding themselves.

About the authosr:

Alexandra Potter is the bestselling author of numerous novels in the UK, including Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up, which is now the basis of a major TV series, Not Dead Yet. Her titles have sold in twenty-five territories and achieved worldwide sales of more than one million copies, making the bestseller charts across the globe. Yorkshire born and raised, Alexandra lived for several years in LA before settling back in the UK. She currently lives in London with her Californian husband and their Bosnian rescue dog. When she’s not writing or traveling, she’s getting out into nature, trying not to look at her phone and navigating this thing called mid-life.

Yue Xu is the co-host of the long-running podcast Dateable, where she, along with co-host Julie Krafchick, spent a decade examining modern love, emotional blind spots, and the stories we tell ourselves in pursuit of connection. A Relationship Futurist and co-author of How to Be Dateable (Simon Element), Yue is known for blending sharp cultural insight with humor and compassion, helping people spot red flags without losing their faith in love. Her talk Conscious Coupling at Mindvalley University in Amsterdam was voted among the event’s top 10 talks, and her work explores how intimacy, trust, and self-awareness are evolving in a modern world.
