There are certain friends with whom you don't have to pretend.

Lou, a freelance journalist, leaves New York after the breakup of a long relationship. Taking refuge in Mim's North London house, the nerve-centre for a group of old university friends, she becomes drawn into an escalating series of personal dramas. Days Like These is about women behaving badly. It is about love and loyalty, deceit and disaster, and the onset of moral choices. In a world where you can touch most things, what - and who - is untouchable? Told with wit, humour and sophistication Days Like These tests the bonds between friends.
