About this book

I almost gave up on love. My ex, who called his private parts 'Nigel', was enough to put me off men forever. But then I met Joe. Alice thought she'd found Mr Right. Her blue-eyed boyfriend Joe gives her butterflies, makes her bacon sandwiches when she's hungover, and doesn't have a nickname for any of his body parts. She should have known it was too good to be true. Because one day, Alice and Joe bump into Zoe. According to him, Zoe's 'just an old friend'. But Alice saw the way they froze, and heard the strange note in Joe's voice when he said her name. Then, out of the blue, Zoe needs a place to live. And Joe has the bright idea of inviting her, and her fluffy ginger cat, Frazzle, to stay with them. Alice tries her hardest not to feel threatened. But the thing is, Zoë doesn't survive off microwave meals, or go days without washing her glossy copper-coloured hair, or accidentally get mascara in her contact lenses. Joe's ex might be pretty much perfect, but there's no way that Alice will let Zoe steal him. She's on a mission to prove that three (four, if you count the cat) is definitely a crowd... This fabulous, feel-good page-turner is for anyone who has ever got a little too drunk and checked out their partner's ex! (We've all been there...) Fans of romantic comedies by Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk, and TV shows like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane the Virgin, will love this utterly relatable read. Readers totally love Sophie Ranald: 'SIMPLY BRILLIANT... I finished the book at 3:40 am and I was so happy that I lost my hours of sleep over this book. One of my great midnight reads.' Book Reviews by Shalini, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Made me scream with laughter... There are no words to adequately describe how much I adored this book... I read the entire story in one sitting.' The Bespectacled Bibliophile, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Had me hooked right through to the very last word!... Had me smiling from ear to ear, I laughed at some of her antics and I absolutely LOVED the ending (and yes, it did make me cry just a little bit)!... An emotional, heart-warming story with plenty of love and laughter.' Stardust Book Reviews, ⭐⭐⭐⭐
