While I was researching my novel Turn Back Time, I reread some of my old beauty articles – and cringed a bit.
I wrote about why for The Independent this week, and what I’d say differently now.
Turn Back Time is out this Thursday, pre-order link is in my bio.

Turn Back Time (out in two weeks) is Psychologies magazine’s ‘Must read’ this month, which I am so chuffed about. The review calls it an “outrageously funny look at the modern obsession with youth“.
So go and grab your copy now, it’s the May issue, out today. #womensfiction #bookclubfiction

VERY chuffed to be interviewed for this piece in DAZED by Madeleine Feeny, looking at a new wave of novels taking on toxic beauty culture and our obsession with youth, which includes mine of course.

This is your Black Friday reminder that actual book shops can't afford to discount like Amazon and supermarkets do. If you can, get full price books but also a full heart.
Two years ago, my proofs of Thanks for Sharing arrived. I had ZERO idea at that point how far it would travel, but fast forward to today and it’s in libraries from Manchester to Auckland, a recommended text at universities and sold in bookshops from Lithuania to Taiwan. #books #publishingjourney

A message for anybody else trying to write today…
Man reading a book called “how to stop stressing about writing”, inside it says “complete the writing”, and the man cries tears of sadness
Huge if true
