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?

Praise for this book
"So smart, thoughtful and hope-filled. I loved it!" - Daisy Buchanan
"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
"A great high concept novel . . . a smart and funny story about taking charge of your own life." - Matt Haig
"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
