What began as a harmless game for Lucinda Tidy ended with unexpected consequences, testing loyalties of a friendship she took for granted. Lucinda can be generous and thoughtful yet equally corrupt. Her peculiar habit of keeping lists is a source of amusement to her friends, but the origins of her habit are deeper than routine. Behind her almost perfect façade lurks a story she has tried to deny. Alice hasn't a practical bone in her body. She loves life and never tires of experimenting with fashion or adventures with her current young toyboy, dubbed The Sickly Prince for his exotic beauty. Now that Fiona has finally relinquished all hope of resurrecting her marriage, she focuses on attempting to update the ancient pub her father is slow to alter, and recapture the lost years. Rose is the sensible one of the group. Unlike her friends, she offers practical advice rather then their preferred drama. Despite her mother's sudden interest in Rose's manless and childless state, Rose is content with her independence, yet she finds something alluring beneath the academic surface of her best male friend. Together their lives entwine through a humorous and moving maze of friendship and loss.
