Two best friends, one old flame ... It's a long story
Tara is a famous movie star, known for her leading roles in beloved rom-coms. When her husband shows up on set one day to tell her he's leaving her for his much younger action movie co-star, her life is turned upside down.
Alex is a powerhouse podcast host and writer, covering all things celebrity and pop culture. But she's less of a girlboss when it comes to her love life, which has never quite recovered after an old flame left her heartbroken.
As youngsters as the same stage school, they swore off a boy for life, promising to always put their friendship first. But now the two BFF's friendship is tested when rockstar Sean Sweeney's memoir is published, revealing his past relationships with them both, unveiling secrets from the past and plunging their friendship into crisis.
Set between Ireland and the US, in the glamorous and high-energy world of celebrities, online influencers and social media, this is a pacy and fun novel about female friendships with a lot of heart.
