Jade Shaw has lost control.

Stuck in the middle of her chaotic family and taken for granted by her self-obsessed boyfriend, Adam, she’s forgotten how to speak for herself.

The last place she expects to find answers is on the floor outside her flat. But there it is: a mysterious, untitled script, predicting an infuriating row with Adam.

Later, as if by magic, the scene becomes reality: word for word, line for line, with Adam getting his own way. Then, more scripts appear – scraps of paper predicting scenarios in which Jade’s boss, mum, and bridezilla sister call all the shots.

Having been given a sneak peek at her future, Jade knows she needs to rewrite her destiny.

Can she create her own happy ever after?

‘An impressive and entertaining debut . . . fast paced and original, populated by a colourful cast yet delivering a thoughtful theme of finding one’s feet and one’s voice’ Freya North Sunday Times bestselling author

Fearne Cotton, Sunday Times bestseller, January 2024

Publisher Review

Just like Fearne Cotton herself, Scripted is life-affirming and deeply compassionate. But it’s also a cleverly conceived and funny novel which asks big questions about what it is to be the author of one’s own fate * Elizabeth Day * So smart, thoughtful and hope-filled. I loved it! * Daisy Buchanan * An impressive and thoroughly entertaining debut. All the ingredients for a great read are here: Scripted is fast paced and original, populated by a colourful cast yet delivering a thoughtful theme of finding one’s feet and one’s voice, of learning to say ‘No’ and standing up for oneself. Such as satisfying read, I really enjoyed it and would love to see what Jade (and Fearne) do next. * Freya North * A gorgeous read about the power of saying no. I devoured it in one sitting! * Poorna Bell *
