Szczęście kryje się czasem tam, gdzie najmniej się go spodziewamy. Życie Natashy kręci się wokół kariery i ukochanego mężczyzny – niestety już zajętego. Sophie ma byle jaką pracę i cudownego chłopaka… lecz nawet po czterech latach związku nie może go nazwać swoim narzeczonym. Natasha i Sophie przyjaźnią się od najmłodszych lat. Natasha zawsze była tą bardziej inteligentną, a Sophie atrakcyjniejszą, i do tej pory jakoś im to nie przeszkadzało. Niespodziewanie w ich relacje wkrada się zazdrość. Przyjaciółki będą się musiały zastanowić, ile warto poświęcić dla gasnącej miłości, czy małżeństwo zawsze jest przysłowiową wisienką na torcie i jak sprawić, by zwykły romans dawał poczucie spełnienia? Wnioski mogą się okazać zaskakujące… Julia Llewellyn jest uwielbianą przez Brytyjki pisarką i dziennikarką „The Sunday Times”.
Seit ewigen Zeiten sind Sophie und Natasha beste Freundinnen. Dass Sophie mehr Glück in der Liebe hat als Natasha und Natasha mehr Erfolg im Berufsleben, störte bisher keine von beiden. Doch dann werden die zwei Unzertrennlichen plötzlich doch neidisch aufeinander, denn jede scheint das zu bekommen, was sich die andere so sehnlichst wünscht. Ob ihre Freundschaft diesen turbulenten Wechsel der Gefühle überstehen wird?

Katie, che al contrario ha un fidanzato che la ama e non sa resistere davanti a un cuore infranto, inizia a darle dei consigli dettati dal buon senso ispirandosi a un vecchio manuale di addestramento per cani. I risultati non tardano ad arrivare e così Katie, love trainer per caso, diventa la vera esperta in fatto di cuore, non solo di Rebecca, ma di tutte le sue amiche.
