Book description
Can YOU keep a secret? Find out in this riotous romantic comedy about
secrets and lies, mothers and daughters and growing older but certainly
no wiser…
When Cass Palmer's mother announces she needs to move in with her -
along with her sexy toyboy Rocco - forty-something Cass is horrified.
The last time they lived together Cass was a tearaway teen, but now the
tables have turned and mother Nita is the one behaving badly. Soon, Cass
finds herself despairing of her mother's wild nights out,
re-organisation of the entire household - from de-cluttering the
cupboards to restocking the fridge - and worst of all, the sounds of her
energetic love life!
It's the last thing Cass needs after the return of old school chum and
drama queen extraordinaire Fiona. Stretching their friendship to the
limit, Fiona asks Cass to spy on her boyfriend Andy, whom she suspects
of having an affair. With the subterfuge, living with her uninhibited
mother and fending off her own unwanted admirers, Cass has just about
reached her limit…
A much-needed break in Cyprus should spell welcome relief. But with
Nita left home alone, the truth about Andy's secret liaisons emerging
and Fiona deciding if you can't beat them then join them, it's when the
real fun and games begin…
