So he takes on a house-sit a few streets away.

Jo, over the road, is intrigued by the newcomer, and quickly finds an excuse to learn more, but Hannah is also wondering if Marcus is the one, after all...

Reviews

'Highmore excels in taking a witty and somewhat wry look at relationships, and in Sleeping Around" families in all their forms take centre stage, with added spice coming from their histrionics, fanciable house sitters, and flights to France' Publishing News" -- Publishing News 20050826 'A witty, wry observant tale of mixed relations' Bookseller" -- Bookseller 20050826 'Where Highmore excels is inthe unsentimental way she writes about the dilemmas life throws at us. There's also a mordant, black humour to her writing, which keeps the froth at bay and makes this a novel firmly rooted in reality' Glamour " -- Glamour 20051201 'A fun little romp' Star" magazine -- Star magazine 20051212 'If you're after some fluffy chicklit froth to brighten up your day, you won't be disappointed' Prima" -- Prima 20051212 'A tangled, complicated tale of love and life' Closer" -- Closer 20051203 'A funny and clever novel. A quirky examination of desire, selfishness and the surprising nature of love and relationships. Very seductive!' Weekend Gold Coast Bulletin" -- Weekend Gold Coast Bulletin 20060121
