The sparkling debut from comic TV and radio presenter, Anna Daniels. Description Lucy Crighton has just moved in with some gregarious housemates called Brian and Denise . who are her parents. She's also the proud mother of Glenda, her beloved 10-year-old . kelpie. And she has absolutely no interest in the dashing son of her parents' new next-door neighbour . well, maybe just a little. When you're the girl in between relationships, careers and cities, you sometimes have to face some uncomfortable truths . like your Mum's obsession with Cher, your father's unsolicited advice, and the fact there's probably more cash on the floor of your parents' car than in your own bank account. Thank goodness Lucy's crazy but wonderful best friend, Rosie, is around to cushion reality, with wild nights at the local Whipcrack hotel, escapades in Japanese mud baths, and double dating under the Christmas lights in London. But will Lucy work out what she really wants to do in life and who she wants to share it with? Girl in Between is a warm, upbeat and often hilarious story about life at the crossroads. Featuring an endearing and irrepressible cast of characters, it will have you chuckling from start to finish.
