Sophie Kinsella is celebrated for her vibrant, relatable characters and her great storytelling gifts.

Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katie’s future get higher, she must question her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life. London has never seemed so far away-until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her family’s farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business.

Then, just as she’s finding her feet-not to mention a possible new romance-the worst happens.

No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud. Katie’s life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle-from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she’s trying to negotiate. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella has written her most timely novel yet.Įverywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe.

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.
