Overview:
Love & Other Scams is a sparkling debut romantic comedy from PJ Ellis, following broke, unemployed Cat as she cooks up an outrageous scheme at her old rival's lavish wedding. Blending sharp wit, heart and eat-the-rich mischief, this paperback has been a "book of the month" pick in Red, Glamour and Cosmopolitan. Perfect for fans of clever, character-driven romcoms with real emotional depth, it's an escapist, laugh-out-loud read about love, money and getting away with a little trouble.

About the Book:
Cat has a dangerously dwindling bank balance, a month before her landlord evicts her, and a surprise wedding invitation from Louisa, the rich mean girl she used to know. She also has a secret talent for con artistry - and Louisa's wedding, complete with a priceless diamond ring, looks like the perfect opportunity. Teaming up with Jake, a smooth-talking accomplice just as good at playing a part as she is, Cat sets in motion a plan that spirals into chaos, romance and unexpected self-discovery. Told with pace, warmth and plenty of banter, the novel moves between the glittering excess of the wealthy and Cat's own precarious reality, using comedy to explore real anxieties about money, class and belonging. As the wedding day nears, the lines between the con and real feeling blur, and Cat must decide how far she's willing to go to get what she needs. Reviewers have praised the book as mischievous, magnetic and full of heart, with a satirical edge beneath the fun. It's a story about reinvention, friendship and learning that the biggest gamble might be letting someone see who you really are. Fast-paced, funny and unexpectedly moving, it's an ideal pick for book clubs, holiday reading or a cosy night in.
