Scripted





A woman at a crossroads must rewrite her own story in the fiction debut by beloved writer and broadcaster Fearne Cotton

Jade has made a surprising discovery.

On the pavement outside the flat she shares with her domineering boyfriend is a script. Containing her name, and Adam's - and showing a row huge between them.

The row becomes relality. As always, Jade fails to stand up for herself. And more scripts appear, predicting infuriating scenarios with Jade's boss, mum, and birdezilla sister. Whoever is leaving them knows Jade inside-out. And the worst thing? Jade can't go off-script, however hard she tries.

With her sister's wedding approaching and her family in melt-down, can Jade finally find her own voice?

Praise for Scripted

Just like Fearne Cotton herself, Scripted is life-affirming and deeply compassionate. But it’s also a cleverly conceived and funny novel which asks big questions about what it is to be the author of one’s own fate

Elizabeth Day

An impressive and thoroughly entertaining debut. All the ingredients for a great read are here: Scripted is fast paced and original, populated by a colourful cast yet delivering a thoughtful theme of finding one's feet and one's voice, of learning to say 'No' and standing up for oneself. Such as satisfying read, I really enjoyed it and would love to see what Jade (and Fearne) do next.
