Roxanne: glamorous, self-confident, with a secret lover -- a married man
Maggie: capable and high-achieving, until she finds the one thing she can't cope with -- motherhood
Candice: honest, decent, or so she believes -- until a ghost from her past turns up
At
the first of every month, when the office has reached its pinnacle of
hysteria, Maggie, Roxanne, and Candice meet at London's swankiest bar
for an evening of cocktails and gossip. Here, they chat about what's new
at The Londoner, the glossy fashion magazine where they all work, and everything else that's going on in their lives. Or almost everything.
Beneath the girl talk and the laughter, each of the three has a secret.
And when a chance encounter at the cocktail bar sets in motion an
extraordinary chain of events, each one will find their biggest secret
revealed.

MY REVIEW
So I have finally made it to the last Madeleine Wickham book written. For those of you who have been following this journey, you know that I am not having the best of time with these novels and I am really sad about that. I am not sure if there are going to be any more novels written under this pen name, but this is the last one I am going to pick up.
I am happy to say that we are ending on a good note though. I did enjoy this one. The cast of characters wasn't too great and I was invested enough to really want to follow the story and see what happens. You have the three main characters who each have their own secrets and we get to explore those and see those played out.
I was hoping that this would be a good story that was also fun to read and it was that. Yes, it was predictable but that was ok.
This is not a story that I would pick up again but did enjoy.
