Better than the Real Thing

Notting Hill meets Bridget Jones Baby in this whip-smart, funny, emotionally charged contemporary fiction about messy pasts, second chances and future families from a sparkling new voice. 

Out December 2025 with HQ/HarperCollins.

A little about me ...

Yellow blob dot points

I write feel-good contemporary fiction with relatable characters, laugh-out-loud dialogue and a decent dash of romance. My debut novel, Better than the Real Thing, will be published by HQ/HarperCollins in December 2025.

My stories balance light-hearted escapism with dry humour, dreamy settings and an honest approach to the darker corners of real life.

One more thing ...

My favourite authors include Marian Keyes (I would 100% hyperventilate into unconsciousness if I ever met her), Jojo Moyes, Emily Henry and Liane Moriarty—so the bar I’ve set for myself as a writer isn’t absurdly high at all.
