They trusted him with their most guarded, martini-soaked secrets, each believing she was more special and loved than the next... \n \n Until he betrayed them. \n \n `Writers write. And one can't be surprised if they write what they know.' \n ______________________________ \n \n `The new Donna Tartt' VOGUE \n \n 'A dazzlingly assured first novel... This clever book, with the moreish astringency of a negroni, is a perfect summer cocktail.' SUNDAY TIMES \n \n 'A whirlwind of a first novel.
