THE HILARIOUS AND BRILLIANT BESTSELLER FROM NO.1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR SOPHIE KINSELLA
Katie Brenner has the perfect life: a flat in London, a glamorous job, and a super-cool Instagram feed.
OK, so the truth is that she rents a tiny room with no space for a wardrobe, has a hideous commute to a lowly admin job, and the life she shares on Instagram isn't really hers.
But one day her dreams are bound to come true, aren't they?
Until her not-so-perfect life comes crashing down when her mega-successful boss Demeter gives her the sack. All Katie's hopes are shattered. She has to move home to Somerset, where she helps her dad with his new glamping business.
Then Demeter and her family book in for a holiday, and Katie sees her chance. But should she get revenge on the woman who ruined her dreams - or try to get her job back? Does Demeter - the woman who has everything - actually have such an idyllic life herself? Maybe they have more in common than it seems.
And what's wrong with not-so-perfect, anyway?
ALSO OUT NOW the joyful new standalone novel from Sophie Kinsella: LOVE YOUR LIFE

Life doesn’t get much better than a free Sunday afternoon, some chocolate and stem ginger biccies and a new Sophie Kinsella novel and this standalone looks at what really goes on behind our perfect social media feeds
Sarra Manning, Red magazine

What an absolute treat - sheer joy from start to finish.
Lucy Diamond

Pesky boss, sexy man and plenty of laughs, and you’ve got rom-com excellence. This will be huge in 2017.

A touching read with lots of laugh-out-loud moments . . . brilliantly captures the zeitgeist
Daily Express
-
This is vintage Kinsella with laugh out loud moments, a haphazard but likeable heroine and a gorgeous love interest. Perfect.
Closer
-
Enchanting and clever . . . whip-smart and brilliantly done, with a lightness of touch that disguises a lot of real wisdom.
