A bold, intelligent, and modern love story perfect for fans of Curtis Sittenfeld's ELIGIBLE and David Nicholls' ONE DAY.

Bernadette is expert at hiding the truth.

She has built her career as a journalist on her talent for lulling powerful men into a false sense of security, then exposing them in her ruthless profile pieces.

But in Radley Blake, she may have met her match. Immune to her charms, he seems to see through every layer of her carefully constructed act: right to the truth of who she is inside.

We think we're looking for love - but what if it's ourselves we need to find? Talulah Riley's wonderful first novel is an irresistible will-they-won't-they tale that asks how it is we can strive for independence, but still believe in destiny...

Reviews
A bold story of love and deception, with a fascinating main character * Woman's Own *
[An] elegantly written debut... Riley is obviously super smart and has an old-fashioned, modernist sort of style that makes you think. I loved it. * Daily Mail *
A refreshing love story about the importance of independence and destiny * Marie Claire *
It is a weaving tale of will-they-wont-they that Riley spins here, one that I found myself unable to put down... this novel certainly meets expectations. -- The Book Bag
A fluid and engaging love story with a truly unique heroine * Heat *
'Acts of Love is a total joy. [Talulah Riley] is an absolute force of nature. As is her lead character. Read and revel' * Eva Rice, author of The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets *
