After being unexpectedly fired by, Demeter Farlowe, her brilliant and creative boss, Katie Brenner retreats to her family's farm to help them set up a vacation business, but when Demeter shows up out of the blue, Katie has a new chance at re-evaluatingâand resettingâher life. By a #1New York Times best-selling author. Simultaneous. - Random House, Inc.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠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. New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella has written her most timely novel yet.
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. Katieâs life, meanwhile, is a daily struggleâfrom her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics sheâs 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 sheâs finding her feetânot to mention a possible new romanceâthe worst happens. Demeter fires Katie. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her familyâs farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far awayâuntil Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katieâs 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.
