So, I Met This Guy

Alexandra Potter

Two women, one con man, and a European adventure fueled by friendship, heartbreak, and having nothing left to lose, from mega-bestselling UK author Alexandra Potter.

Maggie thinks she's finally found the love of her life. Theo is charming, passionate, and crazy about her. So when Theo mysteriously disappears, Maggie certainly doesn't expect that he's gone for good--let alone stolen her life savings, heart, and self-esteem.

Now she's living in a caravan in a muddy field in the middle of nowhere, left to pick up the pieces. When junior reporter Flick catches wind of the story, she decides that exposing the romance fraudster may be just the career break she needs.

The pair embark on the road trip of their lives--from the glitz and glamour of Monte Carlo to the souks of Tangier--where unexpected twists, hidden secrets, and hard truths are revealed. And, as an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, they realize it's not just about finding the guy, it's about finding themselves.

Praise for this book

--Ann Garvin, author of I Thought You Said This Would Work

"Warm, witty, and wise, So, I Met This Guy will have you cheering for Maggie and Flick from the first page to the very last! An absolute triumph!"

"Alexandra Potter is a genius! So, I Met This Guy has two brilliant central characters, a rip-roaring plot, and some of the best twists I've ever read--there's no way you'll ever predict them! But I can confidently predict one thing--it is going to be THE mega hit of 2026!"
--Matt Cain, author of The Madonna of Bolton

"Unputdownable from page one, Alexandra Potter's joyful Mediterranean adventure is the definition of escapism: it has two brilliant central characters, a twisty plot, and an ending that sums up the power of female friendships."
