Have you ever wondered whether the grass is greener on the other side?
This novel is about a successful woman, Juliet, who is in a comfortable relationship with Will, but can't help feeling that they're more like friends who have sex (and bicker from time to time) than lovers. She can't help wishing that she had more romance in her life. When she meets a sexy, dark-eyed Adonis from a rival advertising agency she is sorely tempted.
During the course of the novel, Juliet must work out what's really important in life and whether romance really is all about sexy lingerie and red roses.
The action takes place in London, Yorkshire and Italy (Verona, of course) and is full of great characters (an American would-be single mother to a widowed eighty-something as well as an Irish bookie) as it shows the misunderstandings that arise between couples, and gives different perspectives on love and life.
