Description
Winner of the 1999 Whitbread First Novel Award  ‘Beautiful and brilliant’ Tony Parsons  Estate agent Frankie Blue is known on his home turf – White City, Shepherd’s Bush – as ‘Frank the Fib’.
He’s a liar – but one who always tries to tell the truth.
Frankie has been friends with Diamond Tony, a hairdresser, Colin, a computer nerd, and Nodge, a cabbie, since schooldays.  Now they are thirty and trying to live the same life as they did then – drinking, girls, banter, football.
Then comes Frankie’s Great Betrayal – Veronica, and marriage, his ticket to a bigger, better grown-up world.
From the moment he tells his mates, the whole patchwork of their friendships begins to collapse – revealing the sad, shocking but often hilarious truths that lie underneath. ‘Caustically funny and sometimes very affecting … with sardonic wit and a kind of tough tenderness, Lott portrays people growing up, growing apart or growing together’ Sunday Times  ‘Mordantly funny … Observations are vivid, the dialogue crisp and, crucially, the characters are sympathetic’ Tatler
