**FROM THE #1 HARPERCOLLINS AUTHONOMY GOLD MEDAL AWARD WINNER**

* * *
It was 9.05 on a Monday morning and I was having a quarter-life crisis*.**
Struggling to pay bills, stuck in a dead-end job and no boyfriend, life hasn't turned out quite the way 25-year-old Anna Borgström expected.
While most of her university peers are getting on with their careers, Anna is working as a sales assistant at Harrolds' toy department. But after a shocking public event, things go from bad to worse when Anna is fired and soon left with no job, no car and no money.
Equipped with nothing more than the diary of (in)famous socialite Pinkie Mortimer, Anna sets out on a journey that sees her taking part in Miss Manners - an annual televised talent search for the next headline-making It-girl. Except Anna has no fashion sense, can't walk in high heels, and burps after every meal.
As Anna enters a very different world of primping, pampering and partying, crises and complications attempt to undermine her endeavours. But will the help of friends and a cute new crush ensure Anna's metamorphosis runs smoothly? Or will it all spiral out of control?
