What are you wishing for this Christmas? 'Feel-good and enormous fun' Sophie Kinsella, Sunday Times bestselling author of Love Your Life 'Full of wit, warmth and heart' Beth O'Leary, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flatshare 'You want me to write a list? Like a shopping list?' Gwendolyn nodded. 'Exactly. But for what you want from a man, not ASDA.' Florence Fairfax isn't lonely. She loves her job at the little bookshop in Chelsea and her beloved cat Marmalade keeps her company at night. She might have been single for quite a while - well, forever actually, if anyone's asking - but she's perfectly happy, thank you. And then Florence meets eccentric love coach Gwendolyn, and everything changes. When Gwendolyn makes Florence write a wish list describing her perfect man, Florence refuses to take it seriously.
Finding someone who likes cats, has the sexual athleticism of James Bond and can overlook her 'counting' habit? Impossible! Until, later that week, a handsome blond man asks for help in the bookshop. Rory seems to fit the list perfectly. But is he 'the one', or simply too good to be true? Florence is about to find out that her criteria for Mr Right aren't as important as she thought - and that perhaps she's been looking for love in all the wrong places. *** Praise for The Wish List: 'The Wish List is enormous fun, feel-good and full of winsome, funny characters. It's a delicious, warm, witty book, perfect to escape into' Sophie Kinsella, Sunday Times bestselling author of Love Your Life 'Impossibly hilarious' Abbie Greaves, The Silent Treatment 'Full of wit, warmth and heart' Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare 'Love, love, loved it. I might start re-reading again!' Lucy Vine, Hot Mess 'The perfect escapist read!' Cressida McLaughlin, The Cornish Cream Tea Summer 'Funny and biting, I couldn't get enough' Laura Jane Williams, The Love Square 'Touching and totally addictive' Zara Stoneley, The First Date 'Properly funny. I laughed my way from the first page to the last' Alex Brown, A Postcard from Italy Gold title * Last year The Guardian credited Sophia as one of the reasons why we're falling back in love with the fabulous genre of romantic comedies. She truly is the 21st century Jilly Cooper meets Bridget Jones, where spurgling, baby-trapping, bread-crumbing and a whole host of eccentric aristocracy are the order of the day.
* The Wish List is a modern day Cinderella tale with more fantastically bad sex. Florence's mother died when she was five and that's when she started obsessively counting things under her breath (steps, lights, cars, peas) but she's not lonely, she has her cat Marmalade and she just hasn't found 'Mr Right'. * Sophia is hugely well-connected, she was Features Director at Tatler for five years, she writes a weekly column for The Sunday Telegraph called Modern Manners covering important topics such as the etiquette of the threesome. * Perfect for fans of Fleabag, The Flatshare and How Do You Like Me Now?.
