Synopsis

CC is nearly forty, and apart from her real name (which she hates with a passion usually reserved for men with beards), everything in her life seems wonderful. She's got a high-powered job in advertising, a beautiful flat in Primrose Hill and a wild bunch of gay friends to spend the weekends with. And yet she feels like the Titanic - slowly, inexorably, and against all expectation, sinking. The truth is, CC would rather be digging turnips on a remote farm than convincing the masses to buy a life-changing pair of double-zippered jeans - rather be snuggling at home with the Missing Boyfriend than playing star fag-hag in London's latest coke-spots. But sightings of straight men that don't have weird fetishes or secret wives are rarer than an original metaphor, and CC fears that pursuing the Good Life alone will just leave her feeling even more isolated. Could her best friend's pop-psychology be right? Are the horrors of CC's past preventing her from moving on? And if CC finally does confront her demons, will she find the Missing Boyfriend? Or is it already too late?

Media Reviews
Alexander has written a hugely loveable book, endearingly funny, bang up to date and spot on the truth. * Red *
This modern-day Bridget Jones-esque read is shrewdly observed and wonderfully funny. * Closer *
CC is a compulsively likeable Everywoman, part Doris Day, part Bridget Jones, her life laid bare with Nick Alexander's trademark mix of forensic detail and warm-hearted comedy * Rupert Smith, author of Man's World *
Deceptively simple prose effortlessly morphs from comedy to tragedy to searing interior monologue... At last here is a book that gives readers what theywant - chicklit with intelligence * Alex Hopkins, Out There Magazine *
