A HILARIOUSLY RELATABLE DEBUT ABOUT FINDING YOUR VOICE, FROM BELOVED SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FEARNE COTTON

Jade Shaw has lost control of her life.

Pushed around by her warring family, and taken for granted by a boyfriend who's more interested in his "brand" than their relationship, she knows that somewhere along the path to being an adult she's lost her way. And she can't seem to find it again.

The last place she expects to discover answers is on the floor outside her flat. But there it is: a script. Containing her name, and her boyfriend Adam's - and depicting another huge argument in which Jade fails to stand up for herself. The weird thing is: this argument hasn't happened yet.

The row becomes reality. Jade tries and fails to find her voice. Then more scripts appear, predicting infuriating scenarios in which Jade's boss, mum, and bridezilla sister walk all over her.
Whoever is leaving these scripts knows Jade inside-out. But who is writing them? How are they able to predict her future so accurately?

And what can Jade do to re-write the script?

Loved this story and all the characters

What a well woven tale that has left me wanting to her more about how the characters continue to grow and develop.
Erin Dougherty narrating was truly excellent - I would say on par with my favourite narrator Stephen fry in the Harry Potter series.
Thank you Fearne - more please !

Such an original idea around an issue a lot of people struggle with.

I loved this story! Such an original idea around an issue a lot of people struggle with. Characters written so well the reader/listener can really emphasise with Jade and the storyline makes you want to keep reading!

Brilliant audiobook!

I’ve followed Fearne Cotton on Instagram and podcast for many years now and I was intrigued to give this a try, having enjoyed her “self help” books too, especially Bigger Than Us. This story contains a LOT of Fearne! It’s joyful, beautiful, curious, mysterious, and sad too, and the performance is perfect - the characters are brought to life wonderfully. I want a sequel to hear about Jade’s continued story! Thanks Fearne, I learned a lot about myself too reading this book, really enjoyed it.
