The Make-up Girl

de Andrea Semple

In many ways, Adam is the perfect boyfriend. He never wants to watch the football. He never gets drunk. And he always prefers a quiet night in to going out with his mates. The only problem is, Adam doesn't actually exist. Faith Wishart made him up. In fact, Faith makes almost everything up in order to please her mum. She pretends she works for a top PR company, when really she works in a shop - as a make-up girl for Keats cosmetics. But her mum is itching to meet the mysterious Adam, and when her younger sister, Hope, returns unexpectedly from Australia with her fiance, it's not wedding bells that are ringing for Faith. It's alarm bells. She now has less than two months to solve her boyfriend's non-existence problem in time for the wedding and desperate times call for desperate measures.
