Who's that girl - Mhairi McFarlane

What’s the one thing you DON’T do at a wedding?

When Edie is caught in a compromising position at her colleagues’ wedding, all the blame falls on her – turns out that personal popularity in the office is not that different from your schooldays. Shamed online and ostracised by everyone she knows, her boss suggests an extended sabbatical – ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new acting talent, Elliot Owen. Easy, right?

Wrong. Banished back to her home town of Nottingham, Edie is not only dealing with a man who probably hasn’t heard the word ‘no’ in a decade, but also suffering an excruciating regression to her teenage years as she moves back in with her widowed father and judgey, layabout sister.

When the world is asking who you are, it’s hard not to question yourself. Who’s that girl? Edie is ready to find out. 

My thoughts:

Edie is the happy funny one, but as I read along I find that much of that is a facade. But she will find her way too.

Sure it has humour, but it's not a funny book.

A bit of romance will show up in the last 50 pages, but before Edie knows herself how can she love someone else?

What the book does have is family that she argues with and has drifted away from.

Coworkers and friends that turn out not to be friends at all.

Social media that has turned into a hell.

Being more or less exiled from work to write the auto biography of a hot tvstar.

Getting over someone and yes learning a few truths along the way.

Conclusion:
It was good, and well people can be such assholes, I mean really, arghh, aholes! (
