More about the book
Part love story, part workplace drama, this sharply observed novel critiques the false judgments we make in a social-media-obsessed world. Katie Brenner longs for a life like her boss, Demeter Farlowe, who seems to have it all: brilliance, creativity, a perfect family, and a stylish wardrobe. In contrast, Katie struggles with her dismal rental, quirky flatmates, and tense office politics. To cope, she curates not-quite-true Instagram posts, hoping to make her dad proud. Just as she begins to find her footing and explore a new romance, disaster strikes—Demeter fires her. Heartbroken but determined to stay positive, Katie returns to her family's farm in Somerset to help launch a vacation business. London feels distant—until Demeter unexpectedly arrives as a guest. As secrets are revealed and relationships shift, Katie must reassess her assumptions about what constitutes a meaningful life. Celebrated for her vibrant, relatable characters and storytelling prowess, the author weaves a fresh, modern tale about the disparity between the perfect online persona and the often messy reality of life.
