Summary

Pre-order this must-read glamourous dual timeline novel, perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid now!

All’s fair in love and fame …

Denny was a normal teenager from a council estate in South London. No one knew her name, until she was discovered and thrust into the glamorous world of modelling and dazzling swinging-sixties fashion.

Overnight she became a global sensation, crowned the Face of the Decade. Her potential seemed limitless …until she left the spotlight at the height of her fame, leaving behind only questions and one final, iconic Vogue cover.

Nearly five decades later, aspiring documentary maker Roe is hired by Sonny, Denny’s son, to work on an exhibition about his mother. Roe doesn’t expect to find any answers about the ever-elusive Denny, but as she grows closer to Sonny and delves deeper into Denny’s world, she discovers a secret that could change everything.

Now, Roe must decide just how far she’s willing to go to make her own name: a documentary exposing the truth could be the big-break she’s been so desperate for… but she could also destroy Denny’s picture-perfect family, including the man she’s falling for.

This emotional novel follows two women across dual interwoven timelines as they navigate impossible choices, perfect for fans of sweeping intergenerational tales and Taylor Jenkins Reid.
