In the glittering, chaotic heart of the nineties, life is rarely simple and love is even more complicated. This sharp, hilarious, and deeply tender novel follows a group of magnetic bohemians navigating the thin line between friendship and something much deeper. When the boundaries of traditional romance begin to dissolve, the characters find themselves caught in a vibrant dance of polyamorous discovery, struggling to balance their professional ambitions with their messy, unfolding hearts.
What makes this story truly special is its effortless blend of urban wit and genuine emotional depth. It captures the frantic energy of a life lived in the spotlight while grounding every moment in the relatable longing for connection. As the protagonists move through a world where the lines of attraction are constantly shifting, they learn that the most meaningful relationships often grow from the seeds of long-term friendship. Whether they are navigating the complexities of modern love or simply trying to survive another day in the city, the chemistry between them is palpable and infectious. If you are looking for a story that is as intellectually stimulating as it is heart-meltingly romantic, this is a must-read that will keep you laughing and cheering until the final page.
Being a fan of the author's films when I saw he'd written a book I figured I'd give it a read. Well, to my surprise it was very well written and very hard to put down. A must have for a fan of Rupert Everett!

My Favourite Book ever!!
This is my absolutely favourite book ever and I've read it a million times and plan to read it again. It's hugely entertaining and hilarious and it's so true to life (although my life is, thank God, never that chaotic all at once!). It's a must-read for anyone with a good sense of humour and the absurd!

Brilliant Satire!
It has to be doesn't it? Contrary to the book jacket this can't be a thinly veiled life of Rupert Evertt, but instead a ruthless commentary on the "jet set."
I found the book in the library and had to read it. Everett is an amazing actor so I thought I'd give his fiction a try. Absolutely phenominal! I was reminded of Evelyn Waugh or Oscar Wilde throughout the book. The only disappointment was the ending...I want more of Rhys, Adrienne, and especially Peach! What a super scream!
