My Not So Perfect Life

A Novel




The fizzingly fresh and funny new standalone novel from Number One bestselling author Sophie Kinsella!

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of My not so Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella, read by Fiona Hardingham.

Katie Brenner has the perfect life: a flat in London, a glamorous job, and a super-cool Instagram feed.

OK, so the truth is that she rents a tiny room with no space for a wardrobe, has a hideous commute to a lowly admin job, and the life she shares on Instagram isn’t really hers.

But one day her dreams are bound to come true, aren’t they?

Until her not-so-perfect life comes crashing down when her mega-successful boss Demeter gives her the sack. All Katie’s hopes are shattered. She has to move home to Somerset, where she helps her dad with his new glamping business.

Then Demeter and her family book in for a holiday, and Katie sees her chance. But should she get revenge on the woman who ruined her dreams - or try to get her job back? Does Demeter – the woman who has everything – actually have such an idyllic life herself? Maybe they have more in common than it seems.

And what’s wrong with not-so-perfect, anyway?

Praise for Sophie Kinsella

:

The most hilarious, breathless romp imaginable. You’ll laugh and gasp on every page

Jenny Colgan

I let out a huge, embarrassing honk of laughter on the tube reading Wedding Night. And then, two stops later, I did it again. This is why Sophie Kinsella is beloved by millions - her books are properly mood-altering. Funny, fast and farcical. I loved it.

Jojo Moyes

The narrative gallops along with humorous scenes and great one-liners...and you won't be able to stop reading until you find out how all the loose ends tie up.

Daily Mail

Sure to make you laugh out loud... this book can't fail to lift your mood.
