An uplifting, laugh-out-loud novel from Top 100 bestselling author Carmen Reid

Her passion is fashion... but she's on a budget!

Personal shopper Annie Valentine is about to hit the big time: presenting a glamorous TV makeover series! This is it for Annie and her little family. No more scrimping and saving, finally all her hard work has paid off.

But life in the spotlight isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Soon, Annie discovers this is TV on a shoestring and her budget is zip. But more than this, Annie feels as though the women she should be helping to look fabulous, go away feeling all the more like fashion failures!

Can Annie make it in the spotlight? Or will making it big mean losing who she really is?
