She can't believe she didn't see this coming. Well, not this. How could anyone anticipate being dumped on TV?

Everyone in Amy's life seems to be getting married, having children and settling down (or so Instagram tells her), and she feels like she's falling behind. So, when her long-term boyfriend surprises her with a dream holiday, she thinks he's going to finally pop the Big Question. But the dream turns into a nightmare when, instead, she finds herself on the set of a Big Brother-style reality television show, The Shelf.

Along with five other women, Amy is heartlessly dumped live on TV and must compete in a series of humiliating and obnoxious tasks in the hope of being crowned 'The Keeper'.

While inside the house, will Amy learn that there are worse things than being 'left on the shelf'?

I absolutely LOVED The Shelf. One of those delicious books you just can't put down. So many gorgeous witty one-liners. Utter PERFECTION! * Marian Keyes *
Fun, fresh and thought-provoking * Lindsey Kelk *
I haven't been so immediately sucked in by a novel IN YEARS. Not only is the idea brilliant and original, but Helly's writing is also compelling and hilarious. The Shelf is a must-read and I cannot recommend it highly enough * Lucy Vine *
[One of] the hottest summer reads ... a plot that shouldn't work on paper, but really does. * Cosmopolitan *
The Shelf is just as addictive as reality TV but twice as juicy! Shocking and hilarious, I devoured it and I just want more * Carrie Hope Fletcher *
