Les Millefeuilles De Lucy

_On the heels of her national bestsellers **Jemima J** and **Mr. Maybe** ,

British sensation **Jane Green** delivers a sparkling tale of old friends

reunited and old jealousies rekindled._

Catherine Warner and Simon Nelson are best friends: total opposites, always

together, and both unlucky in love. Cath is scatterbrained, messy, and–since

she had her heart broken a few years back–emotionally closed off. Si is

impossibly tidy, bitchy, and desperate for a man of his own. They live in

London’s West Hampstead along with their lifelong friends, Josh and Lucy, who

are happily married with a devil-spawn child and a terrifying Swedish nanny,

Ingrid.

All’s well (sort of) until the sudden arrival of a college friend–the

stunningly beautiful Portia, who’s known for breaking hearts. Though they’ve

grown up and grown apart from Portia, the four friends welcome her back into

the fold. But does Portia have a hidden agenda or is she merely looking to

reconnect with old friends? Her reappearance soon unleashes a rollicking

series of events that tests the foursome’s friendships to the limit and leaves

them wondering if a happy ending is in store.

Fortunately, Cath has plenty to take her mind off Portia’s schemes–like her

gutsy decision to leave her job in advertising to fulfill her dream of opening

a bookstore. And then there’s James, the sexy real-estate agent who keeps

dropping by even after the bookstore deal is done. With his irresistible smile

and boyish charm could he be the one to melt Cath’s heart?

_Told with **Jane Green’s** captivating wit and flare, **Bookends** is above

all a story about friendship–its twists, turns and complications–and how it

weathers the challenges of love, ambition, marriage, and, most of all, growing

up. Warmhearted, sophisticated, and full of delicious surprises, **Bookends**

is **Green’s** most dazzling novel yet._
