I've never seen a book like this one...the Italian and then the English translation. For example: Faccia in faccia a tua suocera.
Clean only as far as your mother-in-law can see...or do a minimal job and try to get a way with it!

A high-powered literary agent with a Jessica Rabbit body, Jojo Harvey's brilliant mind should be focused on her million-dollar book deals and her climb up the corporate ladder--and not on her love affair with her married boss. Jojo's client, bestselling author Lily Wright, can't seem to deliver her long-awaited second novel--bad karma, perhaps, for stealing the beloved of her ex-best friend, event planner extraordinaire, Gemma Hogan. While Gemma has her own problems, specfically a flatlining social life and a newly separated (and desperately needy) mom--a situation she's lately been chronicling in a series of hilarious emails that has come to the attention of Jojo Harvey...who thinks there just might be a protential bestseller in all this.

There are three sides to every story, and when what goes around starts to come around in the lives of these three suddenly intertwined women, they'll see that revenge sometimes has plans of its own...
