About this book
Don't miss NOTHING I WOULDN'T DO, the compelling, original and hilarious new novel from Sara-Ella Ozbek.
'Addictive, hilarious, bold' Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Adults
‘If you were a fan of Lena Dunham’s Girls then Sara-Ella Ozbek’s latest could be your new best friend’ heat
'A beautiful, messed-up mash-up of The Devil Wears Prada and Fleabag’ Sarra Manning author of The Rise and Fall of Becky Sharp
*
Scarlett is far from perfect.
She changes herself to please others.
She makes mistakes – over and over again.
She repeatedly goes back to people that have hurt her.
Scarlett has a tricky relationship with her mother and is desperate for people to like her.
She moves to London without a plan, but when she manages to land a job at a modelling agency she thinks that her life is finally on track.
Scarlett soon discovers that the fashion industry is far from what she had imagined and her life begins to spiral out of control. But at least people know who she is. She is starting to become someone.
And surely it’s better to be someone – even if it’s someone you hate?
With a vein of dark humour at its core, The High Moments offers an astute, often stark, look at the fashion industry and the challenges you can face as a woman in your twenties. Fans of Emma Jane Unsworth's Animals and shows like Girls will love this.
