A desperate young publicist tries to save her career by turning a grungy retreat centre and its charismatic leader into the hot new self-care brand in this darkly comedic, razor-sharp send-up of the wellness industry. For fans of Halle Butler's THE NEW ME, Abigail Bergstrom's WHAT A SHAME and Liane Moriaty's NINE PERFECT STRANGERS

Description
Inner peace
Glowing skin
The perfect body
How far would you go?
Jane Dorner has two modes:
PR Jane is twenty-five, breezy, clever in a non-threatening way and eager to sell you a feminist vibrator.
Actual Jane is twenty-nine, drifting through mediocre workdays and lacklustre dates while paralysed by her crushing mountain of overdue bills.
Enter the impossibly gorgeous Cass, whom Jane discovers scrolling through Instagram - proprietor of a 'wellness retreat' based out of a ramshackle country house that may or may not be giving off cult vibes. Suddenly Jane realises she might have found the one ladder she can climb.
But inner peace, shiny hair and glowing skin always come at a price...
'Jane Austen on steroids. It's that sharp, that wicked, that laceratingly true' Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours
'Money, influence, and perfect skin do not always make for good chemistry' Elle
'A welcome dose of satire for anyone who's been duped by yoni eggs, vagina scented candles, or TikTok tarot readers' i-D
