*PRE-ORDER NOW! THE HILARIOUSLY RELATABLE DEBUT NOVEL FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FEARNE COTTON*


‘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, No 1 Sunday Times bestselling author and host of How to Fail

--

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.

The last place she expects to find answers is on the floor outside her flat. But there it is: a script. Containing
her name, and her boyfriend’s, and showing yet another excruciating argument in which he calls all the shots.
The weird thing is: this argument hasn’t happened yet.

The row becomes reality. Jade feels more frustrated than ever. Then more scripts appear; infuriating scenes in which Jade’s boss, mum, and bridezilla sister walk all over her.

The future is painfully familiar. But it’s not a future Jade likes.

Is it too late for her to re-write the script?

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 *
So smart, thoughtful and hope-filled. I loved it! * Daisy Buchanan *
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. * Freya North *
A gorgeous read about the power of saying no. I devoured it in one sitting! * Poorna Bell *
