NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ā¢ Part love story, part workplace drama, this sharply observed novel is a witty critique of the false judgments we make in a social-media-obsessed world, from the author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life.
āSophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.āāJojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover
Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katieās life, meanwhile, is a daily struggleāfrom her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics sheās trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud.
Then, just as sheās finding her feetānot to mention a possible new romanceāthe worst happens. Demeter fires Katie. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her familyās farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far awayāuntil Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katieās future get higher, she must question her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life.
Sophie Kinsella is celebrated for her vibrant, relatable characters and her great storytelling gifts. Now she returns with all of the wit, warmth, and wisdom that are the hallmarks of her bestsellers to spin this fresh, modern story about presenting the perfect life when the reality is far from the truth.
