My Best Friend's Girl (novel)

The book's sales were boosted when it was chosen for the Richard and Judy's Summer Reads shortlist.

[1] The novel is about a woman called Kamryn Matika, who finds out that her best friend, Adele, is dying of cancer.

Kamryn Matika is a 32-year-old national marketing manager for a department store, who lives in Leeds.

In the hotel room, Kamryn is shocked to see how much abuse Tegan had suffered at the hands of her grandparents.

Kamryn tells Nate about his daughter, to which he is now becoming used to even helping with her sixth birthday party, which goes badly wrong when Tegan has an allergic reaction.

Kamryn is very self-conscious due to being bullied because she was larger as child, teenager and a young adult, and this causes her to be rather hostile towards men.

Adele formally dressed like a nerd and spoke in a posh accent as her family is upper-class.

Her mother died due to complications after Adele's birth and suffered abuse from her father and his new wife for years.

Tegan Brannon - Adele's five- (later seven-) year-old daughter from her affair with Nate.
