Could the worst day of Sally Parker's life be the best thing that ever happened to her? THE WARM, LIFE-AFFIRMING SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE MUCH-LOVED MEL GIEDROYC 'A real treat. I enjoyed it HUGELY' MARIAN KEYES 'The Best Things is funny and fresh, and zips along nicely. No soggy bottoms here' CLARE MACKINTOSH 'I enjoyed it so, so much - a brilliant cast of characters and properly funny!' GRAHAM NORTON 'This book is a riot! Delicious in its detail.
