CHRISSIE MANBY is the author of sixteen romantic comedies including Getting Personal, The Matchbreaker and Seven Sunny Days. She has had several Sunday Times bestsellers and her recent novel about behaving badly after a break-up, Getting Over Mr Right, was nominated for the 2011 Melissa Nathan Award.
Chrissie was raised in Gloucester, in the west of England, and now lives in London. Contrary to the popular conception of chick-lit writers, she is such a bad baker that her own father threatened to put her last creation on www.cakewrecks.com. She is, however, partial to white wine and shoes she can’t walk in.
Chrissie’s new novel A Proper Family Holiday will be published by Hodder in summer 2014.
