Sophie Kinsella zagościła na brytyjskich listach bestsellerów dzięki swojej pierwszej książce, będącej podstawą kasowego filmu pt. Wyznania zakupoholiczki. Książka Spójrz mi w oczy, Audrey to jej pierwsza powieść dla młodych czytelników. 14-letnia Audrey cierpi na zaburzenia lękowe. Nie chodzi do szkoły, rzadko opuszcza dom, nosi ciągle ciemne okulary. Terapia przynosi powolne postępy, ale nabiera tempa, gdy Audrey poznaje Linusa, kolegę jej starszego brata. Za pomocą przyjacielskiego uśmiechu i zabawnych liścików Linus zaczyna wywabiać ją do normalnego życia ? no, w każdym razie najpierw do Starbucksa, ale to dobry początek! Czy odnalezienie prawdziwej przyjaźni może rzeczywiście zdziałać terapeutyczne cuda? Autorka z niezaprzeczalnym literackim wdziękiem i zmysłem bystrego obserwatora komicznych wypadków życiowych opowiada historię uczucia, które może leczyć rany i koić czytelnicze zmysły.
I love you . . . but what if I can't love your life? Ava is sick of online dating. She's always trusted her own instincts over an algorithm, anyway, and she wants a break from it all. So when she signs up to a semi-silent, anonymous writing retreat in glorious Italy, love is the last thing on her mind. Until she meets a handsome stranger. . . All she knows is that he's funny, he's kind and - she soon learns - he's great in bed. He's equally smitten, and after a whirlwind, intoxicating affair, they pledge their love without even knowing each other's real names. But when they return home, reality hits. They're both driven mad by each other's weird quirks and annoying habits, from his eccentric, naked-sauna-loving family to her terribly behaved, shirt-shredding dog. As disaster follows disaster, it seems that while they love each other, they just can't love each other's lives. Can they overcome their differences to find one life, together?

Effie's still not over her parents splitting up a year ago. Her dad and his new girlfriend are posting their PDAs all over Instagram (complete with super-gross hashtags #viagraworks and #sexinyoursixties) and as if that wasn't bad enough, they're now selling the beloved family home. So when Effie receives a last-minute anti-invitation to their 'house-cooling' party, she decides to give it a miss. Then she remembers her precious Russian dolls, safely tucked away up a chimney. She'll have to go back for them - but not as a guest. She'll just creep in, grab the dolls and make a swift exit. No one will know she was ever there. But Effie can't find the dolls. And as she secretly clambers around dusty attics, hides under tables and tries to avoid bumping into her ex-boyfriend (who she's very much not over), she discovers unexpected truths about her family - and even about herself. With time (and hiding places) running out, Effie starts to wonder if the only way to find out what's really going on with her family is to simply crash the party . . .

Will chaos ensue, or will Becky manage to bring comfort and joy to Christmas?

Katie Brenner has the perfect life: a flat in London, a glamorous job, and a super-cool Instagram feed. OK, so the truth is that she rents a tiny room with no space for a wardrobe, has a hideous commute to a lowly admin job, and the life she shares on Instagram isn't really hers. But one day her dreams are bound to come true, aren't they? Until her not-so-perfect life comes crashing down when her mega-successful boss Demeter gives her the sack. All Katie's hopes are shattered. She has to move home to Somerset, where she helps her dad with his new glamping business. Then Demeter and her family book in for a holiday, and Katie sees her chance. But should she get revenge on the woman who ruined her dreams - or try to get her job back? Does Demeter - the woman who has everything - actually have such an idyllic life herself? Maybe they have more in common than it seems. And what's wrong with not-so-perfect, anyway? Everybody loves Sophie Kinsella: "I almost cried with laughter" Daily Mail "Hilarious . . . you'll laugh and gasp on every page" Jenny Colgan "Properly mood-altering . . . funny, fast and farcical. I loved it" Jojo Moyes "A superb tale. Five stars!" Heat
