The Fall and Rise of Harriet James

‘Harriet put the hugest smile on my face - thank you.’ Thea Jourdan, Daily Mail.

‘Only read this book in public if you’re happy to laugh out loud.’ Cathy Laughton, Laughton Media Associates.

Harriet James has had a shocker of a year. After a skiing accident destroyed her career as a lead dancer in London’s West End, and her boyfriend dumped her while she was in hospital, she’s had to grab hold of her Spanx, find some self-esteem and regain control of her life.

She really must stop watching Tombstone TV, deal with that pile of brown Final Demand envelopes, and stop stalking her Ex. Soon.

However, things are looking up. Thanks to flatmates Tash and Viv, she’s up for a job as a personal trainer at The Conway Club, the celebrity London gym, filled to the brim with Europe’s beautiful people.

With a can-do attitude, Hari fends off poisonous work colleagues, explosive family secrets, paparazzi, and a corporate takeover that threatens to destroy everything she’s worked for.

On a journey that whisks her from London to Courchevel and Kerala, Hari comes to realise that happy endings are not easily won.

‘Bridget Jones, make way for Harriet James!’ Charlotte Morrisson, PR guru.
