ALTAR EGO by Kathy Lette
From the author of Foetal Attraction and Mad cows
This is the question Becky Steel asks herself as she clings to the window ledge of her parents' bathroom, grimly regarding the ten-foot drop into the dustbins below. She stars in disbelief at the meringue dress for which she has drunk only skimmed water for four weeks to fit into. This is a fairytale wedding, all right. Scripted by the Brother Grimm.
The jiltee is Julian, human rights lawyer. He airs the world's dirty linen for a living. Basically, the man frees the world's underdogs from their kennels.
So why can't Becky commit to this Knight in Shining Armani? Because as far as she's concerned, the word commit should only be used next to the word murder - which marriage surely is? Once married, will she never again get the urge to lambada naked in front of her pets? Never again be a painter of towns? Never steal a friend's fiance? Never again give him back again? Yes, Julian's the right man. But has she had enough wrong ones?
Then there's the matter of the bionic buns of rock star toyboy Zack, a man so sexy he could open a deposit at a a sperm bank. Nothing like a touch of IBS (Irritable Boyfriend Syndrome) to make you horny and reckless with a complete and utter stranger. But having an affair with a younger man is exhausting. How can Becky keep herself young without drinking embalming fluid?
Altar Ego is so funny and so gripping you'll miss your own wedding....
