| Plot Summary of Little White Lies |
"After breaking up with her unfaithful boyfriend Pete, Natalie Raglan quits her job at an advertising firm in Bath, England and heads to London to make over her entire life. Natalie now works in retail at a clothing shop called Tina T's. Natalie's mother always dreamed of living a rich and exciting life in London and Natalie feels as if she's finally fulfilling her mother's dreams. However, life in London is almost as boring as Bath since Natalie knows nobody and doesn't run with the in crowd. More than anything, Natalie wishes she was an It girl like Cressida Langton, the girl who rented her flat before Natalie moved in. Although Cressida no longer lives at the flat, she still receives mail there and receives intriguing phonecalls. In fact, Natalie thinks Cressida's life must be filled with glamour and excitement, the kind of things that her life is missing. When Natalie gives in to temptation and opens up Cressida's mail, she finds an intriguing letter filled with a man's name and intriguing information about his large fortune. In a wild moment, Natalie decides to contact the man, Simon Rutherford, and pass herself off as Cressida Langton. As Natalie begins dating Simon, she finds herself living the life of her dreams. But when reality intrudes and Natalie's little white lies begin to catch up with her, her life begins to spiral out of control."
