The romantic getaway to Antigua. But it’s with her ex-fiancé. And she’s the third-wheel.
Recovering in hospital from an appendix operation, Ali Harris whiles away her time by entering magazine competitions. A few weeks later, she’s delighted to discover that she’s won first prize in Complete Woman magazine’s Most Romantic Couple of the Year competition. There’s just one problem. Ali has been dumped by her fiancé, and there’s no way she can claim her prize – a romantic holiday for two in Antigua – on her own.
But, with a holiday in the offing, Ali’s fiance is keen to kiss and make up. The catch: he’s not prepared to give up his new girlfriend. So Ali takes matters into her own hands …
Praise for Chrissie Manby

She answers the prayers of all those suffering from post-This Life disorder

A funny first novel . . That's more realistic than Friends, cleaner than The Young Ones and not as frightening as Shallow Grave
