So, I Met This Guy by Alexandra Potter – Well, isn’t that how every love story begins? But what we don’t know is how it will end.

Maggie, who is almost 50 years old, certainly didn’t expect her love story to involve discovering that the supposed love-of-her-life had stolen her life-savings, along with her home and heart, and had also crushed her self-esteem.

However, when she meets Flick, a young reporter, who realises this story could be the big break she’s been looking for, they join forces and set off together to catch him as he goes on the run across Europe. After all, she’s got nothing left to lose, right?

As the pair embark on the road trip of their lives, however, unexpected twists, hidden secrets and hard truths are revealed. And, as an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, they realise it’s not only about finding the guy, it’s about finding themselves!

Despite this heartbreaking beginning, Maggie is determined to catch up with the culprit who broke her heart!

Although the narrative may be sad at first, it soon develops into a rollicking ride filled with close friendship and humour as the pair reveal their lives to each other.

Heartwarming and witty, it is a most enjoyable must-read!

ISBN: 9781035099825

So, I Met This Guy is available in Hardback, Paperback and Audiobook.
