From Sophie Kinsella the New York Times bestselling author of I've Got Your Number Wedding Night and Confessions of a Shopaholic comes a brand new novel." 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. 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. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud. Then just as she's finding her feet--not to mention a possible new romance--the worst happens. Demeter fires Katie. Shattered but determined to stay positive Katie retreats to her family's farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far away--until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. 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. 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. Praise for My Not So Perfect Life "A sparkling witty novel about social media and the stories we tell ourselves." -- People (Book of the Week) "And something else separates this comic novel from the usual fare . . . the soul of this book concerns female friendship and its dynamics . . . a touch of real wisdom in its slapstick hand that will satisfy Kinsella die-hards as well as new readers." -- The Washington Post "With both warmhearted and laugh-out-loud moments Sophie Kinsella's My Not So Perfect Life was a joy to read. . . .
