Bored with your life? Steal someone else’s

‘Dear Mark
You were the one who insisted we’d always be friends. I made the mistake of thinking you meant it. I won’t be in touch again. Believe me, this is your loss, not mine.’
Margaret

After splitting up with her boyfriend, Maggie has moved to the other end of the country. The trouble is, starting over isn’t easy. She’s got a very well-paid job, but working at Vixenz isn’t something she can boast about. At least the men aren’t allowed to touch her. It doesn’t help that she has no friends in Brighton. So the highlight of her day is the sound of the morning post being delivered, and reading replies to the letters she writes so compulsively. Then one day, she accidentally discovers she can overhear everything in her neighbours’ flat; and it becomes her own personal soap opera.
Libby and David live next-door. Libby is finding full-time motherhood very difficult, even though baby Charlie is deliciously adorable. Just as she persuades David that she should return to work, he announces he’s taking a sabbatical from his job. He’s always longed to travel, and this is the ideal opportunity to spend six months in Cuba learning Spanish. Wouldn’t it be fun to go as a family?
The travel bug is very, very contagious. Cuba is such a fashionable destination. And Libby and David won’t be going alone…
