Kinsella Sophie. Cocktails for Three writing as Madeleine Wickham

An early bestseller from the fabulous author of the Shopaholic series. Three women, smart and successful, working in the fast and furious world of magazines, meet for cocktails and gossip once a month. Roxanne: glamorous, self-confident, with a secret lover -- and hoping that one day he will leave his wife and marry her. Maggie: capable and high-achieving, until she finds the one thing she can't cope with -- motherhood. Candice: honest, decent, or so she believes -- until a ghost from her past turns up and almost ruins her life. A chance encounter in the cocktail bar sets in train an extraordinary set of events which upsets all their lives and almost destroys their friendship.
