So, I Met This Guy…

So, I Met This Guy . . .

Isn't that how every love story starts? But how will it end . . .

Maggie thinks she's finally found 'the one', only to discover he's stolen her life-savings, along with her heart, home and self-esteem. With nothing left to lose, she teams up with Flick - a young reporter hungry for her big break - and together they chase the fraudster across Europe.

But when their adventure takes an unexpected turn, secrets are revealed and an unlikely friendship begins to blossom. And they realise it's not about finding the guy; it's about finding themselves.
