Two women, impossible choices, and a secret that could change everything. `Intimate and powerful.' ★★★★★ Reader review `Emotional and heartfelt. I loved this book.' ★★★★★ Reader review `I devoured this book.' ★★★★★ Reader review `Really well written, emotionally charged story.' ★★★★★ Reader review All's fair in love and fame . Denny was an ordinary teenager from a London council estate, until she was discovered and thrust into the glamorous world of modelling and Swinging Sixties fashion. Overnight, she became a global sensation. Her potential seemed limitless, until she mysteriously walked away at the height of her fame, leaving behind only questions and one final, iconic Vogue cover. Five decades later, aspiring documentary maker Roe is hired by Sonny, Denny's son, to film interviews for an exhibition about his mother. But as Roe and Sonny grow closer, she stumbles upon a secret that could change everything. A documentary exposing the truth could be the big break Roe's always hoped for. But outing it would destroy Denny's picture-perfect family - including the man she's falling for . An emotional dual-timeline story of love and ambition, perfect for fans of intergenerational tales and Taylor Jenkins Reid
