Hard - Softcover

Emma Gold is a unique new voice in fiction -- fearless, honest and outrageous. She has had over 150 jobs from secretary to media lawyer, but has finally found career satisfaction as a therapist and writer. Emma Gold lives in London.

After working as a solicitor, London "party" girl Emma comes to the conclusion that a person should like her job, so she quits. Many jobs later, she is working at a temp agency helping other people find work and enjoying it immensely--except for the new owner. Wayne makes inappropriate remarks and advances. Work is great, but her love life stinks until Emma meets her coworker and friend Tina's son, Luca. She is nervous about dating her coworker's son, but he's perfect and the two start to fall in love. But once her personal life is doing great, her work falls apart. Wayne goes too far and Emma fights back, alienating Tina and putting Luca in the middle of the dispute. Gold explores the ups and downs of a sassy London girl's life with irreverent wit, bringing a British spin to the predicament of the modern single woman that will resonate with and delight Americans.
