The Other Side Of Story

Jojo Harvey is a literary agent, with the body of Jessica Rabbit and a mind like a steel trap. She's energetic and sexy (but because she's overweight, women like her too.) She has her eye on a partnership at work, but the arrival of Richie Gant (Skanky Boy' to his enemies) puts that into doubt.One of Jojo's clients is Lily Wright, who wrote a serious worthy book she couldn't get arrested with. Then she got mugged and wrote a sweet fable to cheer herself up; to everyone's surprise it became a runaway bestseller. Now she's trying to write a second book and getting nowhere. (Her editor half-wishes someone would mug her again.) And she must write that book because she's already spent the money Anton, the Love of Her Life persuaded her to buy their dream house on the strength of future earnings. Gemma Hogan works as an events organiser. She used to be friends with Lily, until Lily stole Anton, also the Love of Her Life. Just when she thinks life can't get any worse, her elderly Dad leaves her elderly mother. Gemma sends e-mails of the mortifying situation to her friend Suzanne, who thinks they're so funny, she sends them to a literary agent the only one she's ever heard of Jojo Harvey. Who takes her on.
