2004. Serge, Rosie and Daniel are enjoying their final weeks of university. They are young, inseparable and full of optimism.
Fifteen years later, they are guests at a lavish four-day wedding in Provence – and no longer friends.
Life has not turned out quite as planned since their heady days at Oxford. Film-maker Serge is winning awards, but hiding a huge debt and a fractured relationship. Behind Rosie’s social ease, she is heartbroken. And with Daniel’s fame has come spiralling anxiety.
Now, with four days of organised fun ahead, all three are armed with their best conversation and brightest smile. At least everyone is following the same script: do not bring up the past. But as the Champagne flows, appearances slip and true feelings emerge.
So Good To See You is a hilarious, poignant and beautifully observed examination of relationships, class, creative differences and pretending to have it all.

Hilariously funny with characters that jump off the page, grab you, and just won't let go

Praise for Seven Days of Us:
I really adored it. Brilliantly funny, whip-smart, sharply observed, compulsively readable. My favourite sort of novel - great perspicacity and wit with a light touch
