From the bestselling author of two of the loveliest, funniest novels of the last decade comes "Just Friends", a fresh romantic comedy that wittily dissects love, friendship and the true meaning of compatibility. Freya and Jack are just friends - which is fine until she moves temporarily into his New York apartment. Jack is a spoilt Southern playboy sporting an unfinished novel and a girlfriend with a tongue-stud; Freya is a tall English blonde with attitude and a knack for choosing the wrong man. The strain of living together threatens to end their friendship, but then Jack escorts Freya to Cornwall for the wedding of her younger sister. Could intimacy breed romance? Or do they know each other far too well to fall in love?

Just Friends: A Novel

Genre Fiction

Ballantine Books

From the bestselling author of Perfect Strangers, a novel "zinging with wit and romance . . . A Sleepless in Seattle for London and New York," (The Times) comes a sexy and hilarious new novel that puts a sassy, sophisticated spin on that burning, age-old question: can men and women ever be just friends? British and ballsy, Freya is a free-spirited Manhattan art dealer who thinks her live-in lawyer boyfriend, Michael, is about to propose. So what if he's as straight-laced as she is fearless; who needs passion? They are so . . . comfortable, together. But when she shows up for their romantic dinner in a thousand dollar dress and new hair, he takes her hand, looks deeply into her eyes, and asks if they can be . . . just friends. Next thing she knows, Freya is paying a desperate visit to her long-time friend Jack, crashing his poker game and bunking temporarily in his Village apartment. Tensions inevitably begin to rise. Freya's caustic take on Jack's luscious new girlfriend, Candy, one of his writing students, is cramping his style. Besides, he has to finish writing the great American novel, and prove himself to his wealthy father. But he is willing to help Freya out (of his apartment, that is) by secretly penning a few personals and calling up her old boyfriend. Unfortunately, Michael is no help. He is now dating Freya's best friend, Cat. But Freya's got bigger problems. She needs a date (and fast) for the wedding of the century: her younger sister has nabbed the most eligible bachelor in London. Her choices are nonexistent, unless she counts last night's blind date: Bernard, the Shakespeare-loving pervert, or young Brett, the sexy boy toy she found in Central Park. Freya desperately wants someone to show off, and suddenly, Jack, in all his sexy blond gorgeousness, is starting to look more and more like wedding--if not exactly marriage--material. Will Jack and Freya remain just friends . . . or will they kill each other? Is Jack's father going to accept his son . . . or just steal his girlfriend? Can Freya forgive her best friend Cat and her unlamented ex for falling madly in love with each other? From New York to London, and all the urban hot spots, watering holes, and dating disaster grounds in between, Just Friends is a delightful, devilishly clever look at the enduring quest to find "the one."
