'Funny, inspiring and uplifting' Nina Stibbe'Raging, outrageous and joyous' Nikki May'A must-read for all people-pleasers! Explosive, funny, thought-provoking' Good Housekeeping
From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes a fierce, joyful and uplifting novel about putting life on pause just for one day.
After a morning that starts with a terrible migraine, an accidentally strong concoction of painkillers, and a bump on the head, Clover Hendry is not quite herself.
And as she walks out of work at 9.47am, for once Clover isn't worrying about anything. She is taking some much-deserved me-time, and everyone else had better get out of her way.
As she crashes from once incident (a deliciously illicit swim) to the next (art theft), Clover is on a one-woman mission to do exactly as she pleases consequences are for tomorrow!
It's a day of joyful recklessness, but behind the chaos, a plan is afoot. Will her new-found freedom uncover long-buried secrets
A euphoric, raging, galvanizing story about putting life on pause, pleasing yourself, and getting your own back whatever it takes.
