You Cannot Brand and Sell the Things That Matter Most.
Katie really wants to make it in London. She has a junior level job in branding and marketing at a prestigious firm, plenty of talent though no one seems to care, and a boss who is a nightmare on wheels. Hailing from the country, Katie works extra hard to shed her Somerset image and refine herself in all ways that seem to count. Then, out of the blue, Katie is fired from her job and left without a clue as to what to do next.
After returning home to Somerset to lick her wounds, her father and step mum present her with a latest business venture full of promise and potential. Katie agrees to help them for a brief period while she searches for another London job. During this time, Katie’s ex-boss makes an appearance and Katie learns a valuable lesson that things are often not what they seem to be.
My Not So Perfect Life is chock full of lessons in the vein of ‘the grass is always greener’ and things aren’t always what they seem’. Social media curation and the addictive lure of the screen plus buying into false notions that everyone else is living the perfect life except for you are heavily explored by a kind hearted protagonist that you will root for
Lively, lighthearted, and thoroughly entertaining, My Not So Perfect Life is filled with valuable life lessons and useful reminders. You cannot brand and sell the things that matter most.
