Everyone wants to be Tori Bailey.
A straight-talking, bestselling author, she's inspired millions of women around the world with her self-help memoir and uplifting posts online. What's more, her perfect relationship with her long-term boyfriend is the envy of all their friends.
But Tori isn't being honest.
While everyone around her is getting engaged and having babies, Tori's boyfriend will barely look at her, let alone talk about marriage. And when her best friend Dee unexpectedly falls in love, suddenly Tori's in danger of being left behind.
Tori's built a career out of telling women how to live their best life, but is she brave enough to admit it's not what she wants?

Honest and unflinching - Stylist

There's a duality in reading things that are super relatable - it feels great to be heard, but also a little exposing. There's a little bit of that in Holly Bourne's latest novel, but nothing will stop you getting to the end...This novel is funny, touching and searingly honest - Grazia

Injected with such reality it can't help but be hilarious - Times
