Follow Maggie on a journey of discovery, from suburbia to a suntan - taking in some heartache and lots of martinis along the way - as she discovers what she really wants in life and why she really walked out of her marriage ...

Bueno, como te decia, yo era muy sensata hasta que un dia lo vi todo diferente y deje a Grav para ir a vivir a Hollywood con mi amiga Emily. ¿Por que?, estaras pensando. Bueno, ahora tienes que empezar a leer el libro. Solo te digo que tenia mis razones, no me dio ningun ataque de locura...
