The streets of London are paved with gold . . . allegedly. They may be twin sisters, but Lizzie and Penny Berry are complete opposites - Penny is blonde, thin and outrageous; Lizzie quiet, thoughtful and, well, definitely not thin. The one trait they do share is a desire to DO something with their lives, and as far as they're concerned, the place to get noticed is London. Out of the blue they discover they have a grandmother living in Chelsea - and when she has to go into hospital, they find themselves flat-sitting on the King's Road. But, as they discover, it's not as easy to become It Girls as they'd imagined, and west end boys aren't at all like Hugh Grant . . .

Enfin quand elles en ont un. Ce qui n'est pas tout à fait le cas de Mélanie : il y a bien Alex, qui est revenu après l'avoir laissée sans nouvelles pendant un an, mais comme le lui rappelle sans cesse sa meilleure amie, Fran, cette drôle d'histoire ne risque pas de finir en mariage. Pas comme cette peste d'Amanda, leur amie d'enfance ou plutôt leur ennemie qui, elle, a trouvé la bague et le doigt qui va avec.
