Description
Amber, rock wife, society beauty and lifestyle guru has died suddenly on the eve of her fortieth birthday. Now her close circle of friends has come together to contribute to an in-depth documentary about her life, each offering their personal take on The Real Amber Best.
So, which of them really knew Amber, and who was she? Was she the sexy bohemian goddess of her television show, mother of a brood of dazzling children, running wild on her country estate? Was she the loyal friend and confidante, the devoted wife and muse? Or was there a more complicated and devious character behind the elegantly dishevelled facade?
And who are her close friends? They all thought they knew Amber, and each other, as well as anyone could. But without her, the delicately spun web of friendship begins to unravel and damaging secrets threaten to shatter all of their assumptions.
Acutely observed and laugh out loud funny, The One to Watch is an utterly contemporary novel which goes straight to the heart of the way we live now.
