Summary
Scarlett makes mistakes – over and over again.
She’s not perfect, she has a tricky relationship with her mother and is desperate for people to like her.
She repeatedly goes back to the people that hurt her, no matter how badly.
She moves to London with no plan (of course), but manages to land a job at a modelling agency. Finally, she’s getting her life on track, but the fashion industry is a murkier place than she had imagined.
She changes herself to please others.
Just as she starts to find her place, Scarlett’s life begins to spiral. But at least people know her, she is starting to become someone. And surely it’s better to be someone – even if it’s someone you hate?
With a vein of dark humour at its core, The High Moments offers an astute, often stark look at the fashion industry and the issues you can face as a woman in your 20s - fans of Emma Jane Unsworth's Animals and shows like Girls will love this.
Critic reviews

"Scarlett is the perfect heroine for our times." (Sarra Manning author of The Rise and Fall of Becky Sharp)

Oh dear.
This is a vapid and cliche-ridden piece of work. The author is trying to reimagine "Bridget Jones's Diary" for a new generation, but she lacks the talent to say anything new or worthwhile. Instead, she copies EVERYTHING, from the frustrated middle-aged female protagonist to the diary entries. The review by "Cloud 2000" below looks suspiciously like the desperate work of a corporate PR department.
