Avoiding Mr Right

A hilarious and heart-felt story of love, self-discovery and finding true happiness, from award-winning Wiradyuri author, Anita Heiss.

Peta Tully thinks taking a man to Melbourne would be like taking a sandwich to a smorgasbord. That's why she is leaving him at home.

Peta loves her life in Sydney. She has a great job, three deadly best friends – Alice, Dannie and Liza – and a doting boyfriend. The only trouble is, she's not sure she's ready to settle down yet. So when she's offered a twelve-month contract in Melbourne, which might just win her the job of her dreams, she doesn't have to think twice. She packs her bags and jumps on a plane.

Peta takes a vow of celibacy, but with Melbourne filled with eligible bachelors, sticking to it proves harder than she imagined. As her mum always says, though, being faithful means you can still look at the menu, you just can't order off it … Right?
