The hugely entertaining second novel from the bestselling author of The Temp Saints, sinners, and the mere mortals in between What do you need to be a saint these days Ambition, determination and good PR. But what do you do if your mother's a saint and you just want to be human Anna and Harriet are about to find out. Anna and Harriet share a burden- hellishly saintly mothers. So when they meet, initial loathing turns swiftly to recognition and firm friendship. Happily settled in a chaotic flat and armed with a wicked sense of humour, they set out to paint the town red. And for a while life goes swimmingly. But when they tread on one toe too many, they find that they have only their worst instincts - and each other - to rely on. Be good. And if you can't be good, be careful...
