Bad Romance by Emily Hill
Tales from the happily never after At a wedding, one woman's revenge comes in the shape of her heavily pregnant belly. As a career girl attempts to climb the ladder she slides down into ever more grotesque flatshares. A single woman who always attends parties alone realises that the truth might not always be the best answer. And one Londoner learns her most important lesson since moving to the city - never act friendly towards a stranger. Bad Romance is dark, hilarious and moving by turn as Emily Hill's acid wit gives life to the women whose tales never normally make it into the storybooks.
