Another captivating bestseller from the superstar of women's fiction 'I'd always lived a fairly blameless life. Up until the day I left my husband and ran away to Hollywood . . .'

So why does she make a bolt for Hollywood and her best friend, Emily? In the City of Angels, Maggie gets to do things she's never done before- mixing with film stars, pitching scripts, partying non-stop. But is this really a once-in-a-lifetime journey of self-discovery, or is she simply running away from married life?
